That was one of the main topics covered by Manuel Lemos and Michael Kimsal on the episode 22 of the Lately in JavaScript podcast. They also talked about implementing your own version of Yahoo! Pipes using JSPlumb library, the new PHP VM to execute PHP code using JavaScript, displaying large videos on page backgrounds with BigVideo.js, a comparison between different JavaScript Physics engines, and using Cross-Domain AJAX versus JSONP.
