Further the line about show us some code was not what I was talking about, it was the lines prior to that. "you've given us nothing to be interested in, aside from a few YouTube videos and some hints about an API that, to be honest, looks nothing like a well designed JavaScript API" Ah yes a positive and necessary critique from someone with an obvious superior intelligence. Personally I don't care what your creating robots with, this has to do with respect. You know I have always been impressed with braggarts that use accomplishment to justify rude behavior.  

I didn't mention those projects to brag at all, I mentioned them because the OP has created a thread of rants making deluded claims and then complains that no one is interested.

Well... I'm interested, but I want to see more and I don't mean more YouTube videos and rants, I want code.

Large ideas come from small ideas, I would hate to think that something I might say could have been short sighted may ruin the chances of something good happening coming out of someones effort. IMHO

I've spent the last 7 months programming arduino robots with JavaScript and this past week Felix G demoed ARdrone control programs written in JS... None of that would matter if there were no code to show for it. So like I said, show me some code and I'll show you some interest.
