"I know many of you think JavaScript is a toy language..."

hmm, I thought the dev community got over the javascript-is-a-toy-language mentality 3 or 4 years ago?

the attitude is still prevalent among people who are not so web focussed.
Very long, little code, and the code that is shown is disappointing. He mostly harps on things that JavaScript "lacks" even though the features in question are present in the engines he promotes.
I wish I could just skip through the slides and look at the code samples. The talk is completely video based.
