Reel it in buddy, I was the first person to respond to the original post (shared some interesting, related research and information). 

Since then all I've read is long winded soapboxing, with claims that people don't take JavaScript seriously enough as a "high level" language and that no one is innovating quite like the author is... forgive me, but I expect substance to back claims like that. 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.
