Sorry, but if a 7 year old kid wrote this in Flash I might be impressed. JavaScript has light-years to go before it's a viable platform for anything involving animation and graphics, for even the most cursory uses.

You miss the point. It is impressive because it's in pure javascript and everyone knows how hard it was to pull it off using javascript.

>light-years to go before it's a viable platform >for anything involving animation and graphics once all browsers support the canvas element (as does firefox3) its just a matter of time until some standard 2D animation libraries popup that will enable game development. flash is ecmascript + proprietary set of libraries and a great IDE. but javascript has the advantage of coming out-of-the-box with the browser. (and in the distant future there is Canvas 3D, which really is opengl exposed to JS :) https://wiki.mozilla.org/Canvas:3D https://wiki.mozilla.org/Canvas:3D )
