waiting for the real JS Application framework to appear Yes, please! This area is so ripe, it hurts. Backbone.js (or similar) screams to grow into a client/server hybrid that could finally turn web development into what it should be - after all those years. As a datapoint, I'm currently fleshing out a rails hack to auto-generate javascript form-validation code from the rails model validations. The impedance mismatch is nasty, to say the least. And this is just a tiny fragment of the pains that would evaporate when we finally get to treat server and client as two sides of the same coin.
