There have been major apps written in Javascript for at least 5 years. I mean, a huge slice of the whole "web 2.0" shebang is client side Javascript apps doing asynchronous communication with servers...
- jacquesm 18y ago> client side Javascript apps doing asynchronous communication with servers that much I'm aware of, but the fact that there is enough general functionality in there to be able to stick together a complete implementation of another language was definitely news to me. I've been using JavaScript since its introduction to deliver 'video' (as in one jpeg replacing another) for the longest time, and I found a way to do an underwater call to the server long before 'ajax' even had a name or microsoft introduced the corresponding http request call. I'll look at the examples you cited, it definitely sounds like cool stuff.
