My suggestion to Lenny is: stay away from all javascript OO-like features (just NEVER use "new") for the first couple of months and explore modules and prototypes. The chance is big that you'll come to think that such an untyped language may be exploited better by leaving aside the traditional OO mindset. The Crockford book is an absolute must-read but it's a tough cookie to start with, especially if you've never been exposed to functional programming. You may like it a lot if your Java is already going that way (I mean: you're already tweaking anonymous inner classes everywhere you can :-)
