One of the problems I have with articles like these is that they focus on Javascript's use in front-end development so the conversation settles on DOM tools examples of good Javascript.

Using Node.js (i.e. non-DOM server side Javascript) myself, I would love to see examples of beautiful Javascript in general i.e. linguistic best practices, not those specific to DOM programming.

Also, as a side note, for anyone interested in beautiful Javascript in Node.js, I love the examples posted on Express' Github repo: https://github.com/visionmedia/express/tree/master/examples/

Underscore.js works on both client and server.

Just took a look. Underscore.js looks very promising. Thanks for the tip!

I don't use it, but I am quite impressed with the cleanliness of the Google Closure source.

Agreed the google closure ecosystem is probably the most underrated one here on HN

More of this. I don't know javascript that well, but looking at the annotated underscore.js was really enlightening.

If you enjoyed that, perhaps you'll dig the annotated Backbone.js as well:

Interesting bits are the somewhat-flexible linked list of custom events, the proxying-through of many Underscore methods for Collections, the "inherits" helper function, and so on...

Anything from TJ Holowaychuk is beautiful and extremely well-documented.

For some twisted interpretation of beautiful I guess http://140byt.es also qualifies
