Hey im the author. Its pretty clear im getting murdered here on how long winded yet incomplete my post is. Next time I'll wait till its done to post :-) and edit a lot more. I lol'd at some of these comments. I certainly don't take myself too seriously but obviously have strong opinions about JS and the direction of harmony. I have used the very hot topic of CS as a hook to talk about something a bit more boring, the standards process and where its taking JS. Thanks so much to those that read the whole thing, I'm sorry it made it to HN before I finished it. Seeing as how I've had all of 5 visitors to my blog I wasn't expecting to get too much visibility to it. It was more a way to organize my thoughts and stop accosting my co-workers at lunch time with my long winded rants. But I am still working on it and will post the other parts and a much shorter min version once its done.
