JavaScript: Mr. Yunioshi of [scripting] languages. JavaScript is so underrated (–and I’m a kernel developer). Think “out of the browser”. Name another [lightweight] language that supports closures and dynamic typing (including dynamic function typing!)? I bet Yan wrote all that shit in a single function. Yes, yes, the web is generally wholesome, but don’t forget that it’s solely responsible for heinously smothering the awe of animated GIFs (or was that IBM and their flaming logo ad?) and, until Yan, suppressing the potential and reputation of JavaScript. Go, Yan! Show those bitches!

That is pretty interesting shit, though I still don’t see the need for applications that work online and off. I don’t remember the last time my net connection was down. (Of course, I may just block such events out, they would be so traumatic.)
