Sorry if I was unclear by my remark on rendering. What I was referring to was Cappuccino's habit of rendering a lot of stuff using canvas, which SC (at least natively; obviously developers can use whatever presentation layers they want) does not. SC also relies on the browser to do much of its work–from resizing to animation—without using any JS. As for the relative merits of Obj-c and JS, I supposed that's a matter of taste. As mentioned above, SC does implement classical inheritance, but I actually find prototypical inheritance to be very powerful. In general I find my Obj-J (and -C, for that matter) code much more verbose than my JS. Perhaps that's my failure, but still it's something to keep in mind.
