"[...] a well-known

Finagle's law, which in itself shows that Finagle was right.)"

"Why isn't JavaScript the most popular server-side scripting language? To which my reply is:
yeah, why not?"
In one point, oriba san's comment is certainly right:
"I can't seem to find one good information resource for javascript. it's scattered all over the web.
javascript is a mess
."
That is true, which is why I believe so strongly that we should make tabula rasa and call the paradigm shift towards modern client/server-side Javascript by its original project name:
Mocha!
That way we will know what we get when we google for information resources.
"So my earlier prediction has become true: JavaScript is gaining
popularity as an all-purpose development language. One thing's for
sure:
there are more and more JavaScript-based frameworks popping up
for all levels of application development."
Well, in the case of OpenMocha and Helma they might be "popping up"
more, but they've been around and have evolved for several years. So,
has Whitebeam. And Trimpath Junction isn't on the server-side (but
could be, using Helma). All these server-side projects' roots go back to the
1998-2000 time frame. In retrospect I must say, neither
me
nor
Hannes
did a very good job at telling people that our projects were "server-side Javascript".

"When Java started, it was easy to write web applications.
Now, to build a Java application in the lightweight way, you need to learn
servlets, XML, struts, some persistence framework like Hibernate or
iBATIS, and Spring to help glue it all together. That's an oppressive
learning curve. And three years from now, when the state of the art has
changed, you'll have to do it all again.
Java's not approachable to the
masses like it once was.

Historical trivia of the Helma project, picked up during my vistit in Vienna.
No comment :-) ...or maybe just this: The answer to

Hannes
has discovered a collection/overview of
Java packages
which even he considers "ziemlich gut". If we tell people
"to leverage the whole wealth of Java libraries out there"
then we should also provide them with some pointers where to get such packages. This needs to find its place on helma.org.
Another good source I'm planning to include on that page:
