Do you believe that JavaScript actually requires engineering and computer science techniques, rather than just hacking? Did you write your own JavaScript framework before the likes of Dojo, Prototype, and YUI took center stage? Do you relish in the intricacies of runtime DOM and CSS manipulation to achieve just the right UI effect? Do you live and breathe asynchronously?
