I freaking hate AJAX

There was a time when I was GLAD javascript was gettin used less and less as a core script langugage. It was just so darn confusing and it was so browser dependent. But it seems these new fangled AJAX and the hype around it is gonna make it ever so popular again. AJAX isnt even new but merely a collection of exisitng technologies yet the marketing put them like its sum new toy.

I've coded tons of real ajax. The funny thing is that a lot of people forget the Asyncronous part of Ajax, that is what lets the server send stuff whenever it wants to update the screens of the clients. Currently writing a game with a 7th generation ajax library, and it is getting really groovy.
Using some of the helper scripts available help tons with making javascript a tolerable language, and originally it was javascripts flexibility which turned me to languages such as Python.

Oh and that game will hopefully make a furore; I am pretty sure the 4chan crowd is gonna like it : D
