Lots of great links here. You are a funkenlinkinpository, dude!

I still have fond memories of creating firestorms every few weeks when I was CNET.com’s “Master Builder” columnist and I’d do another “Here’s more proof that JavaScript is object-oriented.” I *still* get strange looks and nasty comments from people when I say that.

Life’s simple joys.

One of my clients was recently bemoaning the fact that JS was beginning to be treated as if it were a “real programming language” as he put it. With all these new frameworks, though, it is becoming quite possible to do remarkable stuff and not really have to master JS all that thoroughly. I think language abstraction has always been a widely overlooked value-add for well-factored object frameworks.
