Heaven & Hell JavaScript ... everywhere?
summary
JavaScript now runs on servers, desktops and phones and the concrete wins and pains are clear: Yammer ships a desktop AIR client that reuses the exact web models, developers use the jake build tool and the ruby racer to embed v8, and node.js gives real server parity. Testing is the hardest part — a homegrown runner called logan exists but newer pieces like foo unit plus browser launcher jellyfish start to make multi‑environment CI possible.
