Another "hot" topic I read about last week.

It reminds me of other "hot" technologies I've come across in the past - such as "business objects", "drag and drop interfaces", "client-server"

People seem to go crazy about something, then move on after a while leaving the rest of the world to pick up the pieces.

Having said that, I think that Javascript is a great piece of technology - although it's been around a "longgggg" (to quote Miss Jocelyn) time.

I've recently had lots of fun mixing Javascript and Java to do uploaders and downloaders on the Tunetribe site.
