jar class loader…

real good.
not sure if i need to pass objects as json
when E4X is so good to create/set/get xml…

It is a java open source which uses rhino (javascript) to glue together the functionality embedded in the jars. E4X is available by default. I just had a look at http://www.seppia.org.

You can almost do "real" OO (you only miss super but you can get around it using apply(), all other things you 1) don't need or 2) you can easily simulate/implement yourself, both due to the extremely dynamic nature of js) and, as Don said, you do have full closure (functional as I prefer) support. Javascript is more Lisp than Java (and I like that). I started to learn Ruby the other day and Ruby has more power than javascript but I think that Javascript isn't far behind (and I'm not including ECMAScript 2.0 or Rhino when I say that!) I would really love to have ECMAScript 2.0 with E4X in the browser. Then you could do more magic than you already can!
