i'll be happier when john et al push through the next major lang revision
this clinginess to js strikes me of stockhold syndrome. people are working themselves into a lather as to how awesome and powerful it is, but most of this power is rooted in crappy hacks. namespaces for example. or crockfords currying stuff. very hacky.
js will do. it gets the job done. would i choose to code on the server side with it over python, perl, or haskell? nope
