The future of Javascript is looking bright and shiny. If you follow the latest web development trends you'll probably have heard of node.js and web sockets and all the other beautiful things JS is doing these days.
I for one am very excited. I'm always looking for new and exciting mediums to deliver some web app (or to start on one that I may never finish), and node.js coupled with HTML5's web sockets seemed like a good platform to build the PBBG (persistent browser based game - see this) I've always wanted to make. (more on my PBBG in a future post)
I'm off to a rough start (it's always a little rocky when you're trying something new), but I've got a server up and running and I'm experimenting with the possibilities. I'll post progress articles in the future, suffice it to say that it seems like I'm going to be having a lot of fun with all of this.
Check out Node.js and Web sockets. I'd like to see what others come up with (there's some creative stuff out there utilizing these tools already)
