You will not become what you aspire to be by solving trivial puzzles.  Find
a *real-world problem* that you want to solve.  Try to solve it using an
ECMAScript implementation like JavaScript.  There is no better exercise,
even if the scripted solution turns out not to be the best approach to solve
that particular problem.

Programs?

I do not think they just *lurk* *here*.

I can recommend Mozilla Thunderbird to subscribe to, read, and post to
comp.lang.javascript using your real name.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.
