Dojo and Phobos, Sitting In A Tree....

So for a good long time now, we've maintained that JavaScript needs a standard library. Not just because web browsers have some pretty impoverished APIs that need evening out, but because JavaScript is finding success in lots of places other than on the client. More proof of this thesis came this week when I got word that Phobos is making Dojo available on the server. That means that sites built with Phobos can take advantage of the event system, the language utilities, internationalization support, and all the rest of the non-visual facilities that Dojo provides for improving your JavaScript productivity. You can even use dojo.io.bind() in your server-side code!

Wow, thats some awesome

Wow, thats some awesome news. Dojo being fully embraced for what it is. A Javascript Toolkit, not just a DHTML Toolkit. Hopefully others will follow the example set by Phobos. I can't wait to see the products this results in!
