Me too :-)

I love working with JavaScript though but the sad thruth though is that JavaScript is easy to write it's extremely difficult to debug and maintain after the fact. The problem is that the language is not modular enough and the 'class' model doesn't lend itself to easy extensibility. The only really features of JS IMHO are: dynamic typing and function pointer support (closures) in a real easy way. Beyond that JS is not interesting and feels mroe like a hack.

It'll be interesting to see what MS does with JavaScript - now that they're wiring it into WinRt and .NET it'll only be a small step to integrate it as a server side language as well to do backend processing.

To me though the switch between JS and C# is a minor one and I think they actually complement each other perfectly for client and server work.
