Glenn got the point. I've put my two arms in the air several times. I reviewed myself several times on my javascript learning curve. The last statement: "Great, new, powerful things aren't going to look like the things we already understand. If we aren't expecting that, we'll miss them." This is very true about javascript. Thanks Glenn.

A good presentation that's well worth sitting through. Not sure that it will convince hardened doubters that javascript is a candidate for more serious work, despite it's growing role in the ajax world, but then if you have strong views on the risk/power that javascript's fluidity provides I guess it would take more than one presentation. I've been playing with Phobos recently (admittedly for my own edification as opposed to anything industrial strength) and love it.
