This may be off topic, but it is really on topic. If you have not caught up with this video series by Crockford on Javascript, it is well worth watching:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/crockford-on-javascript-the-complete-series/
which is about far more than just Javascript. It is about why programmers are resistant to new ideas, how we usually end up with messes (JS in particular), language design, and subtly why C and C++ are poor languages (and Java as well). Oh, yeah, and why the web is such a mess (just bad ideas done quickly and a great perspective on the lasting effect of the browser wars). This series is well worth watching for the insights it has into our profession.
I think the WO community will find them very interesting.
Ian
