Heh. Funny, I came to the exact same conclusion a couple months ago when I started using it for some pet project (something to do with learning Japanese that will revolutionise the way you think about kanji)…
After much pondering, though, I have come to the conclusion that Javascript was *actually* a good language all along (for its purpose), just dragged down by myriads crappy incompatible implementations. All it takes is a powerful API to work as an abstraction layer, and it starts becoming quite enjoyable to use…
yep, when you think about it, it has been there *forever* but no-one managed to do anything with it until libraries such as jQuery and prototype.js came out
