How and on what basis do you make this claim? Being a functional programming language, I strongly disagree JavaScript is not modular. Further more you go on to say a few lines below, that the toolkits provide you with re-usable components and support for unit testing. This a blatant contradiction of you own previous statement about JavaScript modularity since the toolkits are written in JavaScript themselves. I do agree and see in value in JS libraries, but my reasons are just a little different. cheers. Nigel http://tech.nigel.in You say in your post:
