Besides being a complete scripting language in its own right (with some actually quite interesting design decisions -- as

Looking beyond what is now being done with web applications utilizing AJAX, more performance sensitive areas like gaming seem
to come into reach. Displace Flash -- how nice this prospect sounds... hope it becomes real rather sooner than later.
