Are Computer Languages Irrelevant? - O'Reilly Broadcast
By Kurt Cagle
[November 24, 2008]
I spend a significant amount of my working day staring at a web window pane within a browser. That browser may be written in C++ but is increasingly likely to be written in JavaScript or Python of even Java, not necessarily because these languages are any faster, but because these languages are generally easier to work with.
What is Great About the Web - O'Reilly Broadcast
By Eric Larson
[October 20, 2008]
I'm not sure many people really understand what is truly great about the Web and why it works. Most developers see the web as a technology platform and nothing more. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are simply tools that must be used to satisfy requirements. The sad part is that this lack of understanding will cripple the web and hurt users.

By Kurt Cagle
[September 21, 2008]
Persistence, performance, rich APIs and increasing broadband connectivity are all likely to make a huge difference for this latest generation of browsers, and the quantum improvement of JavaScript capabilities due to Trace Trees and precompiled JavaScript will likely play a major part in that evolution.

Seeking Ubiquity - O'Reilly Broadcast
By Kurt Cagle
[September 09, 2008]
Ubiquity, the open source add-on currently in alpha and being produced by the Mozilla team for Firefox, is intended to make such a command line possible. The idea behind ubiquity is to take advantage of both the internal storage capability and online communications in order to let users both create local "scripts" written in JavaScript that can be invoked to perform certain actions and to create a centralized (and vetted) library of such scripts online that people can load to accomplish nearly any task.
