[clug] javascript libraries/frameworks

[David Schoen]

Sort of on topic, has anybody done anything at all with server side
javascript like http://www.aptana.com/jaxer/ ? Was it in a usable state,
stability wise, speed wise, etc?

The idea really appeals to me because it would be trivial to do things like
form validation on both the server and client :)
