I get this definite feeling that people are assuming that I'm somehow
"afraid" of the client side
Please don't take anything personally!
I was just suggesting an alternative models that I think are achievable right now, even if yours may be more ideal when completed.
- Testing is horrendous.
I definitely agree, but now I *am* going to state (as someone who works in typeless languages that if that is your opinion (and it is mine of javascript) that there is a fear of the client side, or at least a recognition that programming it will be less productive because of the effort to test. This point goes in tandem with the lack of static typing- you can make up for some of the lack of static typing with more testing. I am looking into better ways to test javascript, looking into this at the moment:

I hope you build the framework you are setting out to do and that I can use it to build cool sites.
