Check out the interview with Yahoo's Christain Heilmann in last week's
Boagworld Podcast, on common Javascript mistakes:

Christian: The other thing that I keeps seeing is well the fan boy
thing, about javascript libraries and of the academic way of some
people measuring javascript. You have all these like, I mean there's

Paul: (Laughs)

Christian: ...generating twelve thousand objects and trying to put
them on dominoes. Show me the application that needs that done, then
your comparison actually makes sense.
