javascript web development

Just wanted to share a few useful libraries if you plan to do a pure javascript web development:

* jQuery http://jquery.com/ - who doesn't know it, right ?

* Backbone.js http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/ - a useful and light MVC framework, that effortlessly works with JSON server-side APIs

* RequireJS http://requirejs.org/ - the framework that provides bunch of useful functionality, such as automatic namespacing for the modules, javascript minification, pluggins support etc. One of the useful plug-ins is I18N that provides a good support for localization.

* Dust  http://akdubya.github.com/dustjs/ - fast and light templating engine.

Enjoy!

Javascript from command-line on Mac OS X

Here is a "trick" to get the javascript command-line tool "jsc" available on Mac OS X,  just add a link, for example like this:
sudo ln /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/jsc ~/bin/jsc
then just run "jsc".
