#2i think the real value in doing js implementations is hooking them up to js visualization libraries so that you can do online demos within the webpage; could be great for education. otherwise i don't see the benefit of coding this up in js vs. other similar dynamic languages.

The benefit being that JavaScript is the most popular language in history?

#4The more I work with js the more I like it. This project is a great idea, if it can be maintained. I'm fairly interested in figuring something to contribute myself.

A billion flies can't be wrong.
Just because it's used on almost every webpage, doesn't mean it's popular in the sense of being liked.

It is certainly the most talked about at this point in time because of it's active competitive development and distribution.
But popular? In what definition?

Yea, I wish I could
Seriously asking here: what would you like more about Ruby as opposed to Javascript if they were in the same boat (i.e. if Ruby had client ubiquity, no systems frameworks, no major non-browser platform, etc)?

#10Look, JS is a language like any other. If I can do something in assembly, I can do it in JS. Give me IF statements (preferably with nesting support) and variables, and there's nothing that cannot be done.
What remains is how easy, how nice, how flexible, how enjoyable, how compatible, how reliable, how practical.
For me, the answer is C++, but don't let that influence you ;-)
