This is a great story. I think javascript is very likely the future of app development. At the least, JS is the new Assembly with other languages compiling to it. It will be nice to maybe have the dream of write once run anywhere come true for app development. Swing got close but for any number of reasons failed. Side note: I am disappointed to not see this make front page. It's one of the better stories today. There definitely needs to be some HN algorithm tweaking here. Rest assured, if Gnome sent out an email urging people to upvote this, it would be on page 1. That's why we see so many mediocre low-content company blog posts in our news.
