Is anyone here familiar with Javascript much? I'm wondering what kind of networking tools are available from Javascript. I've been reading about a thing some people call Comet, (http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/?p=545) which basically a publish/push model for the server to update pages live. It looks like it uses a JSON protocol called Bayeux (http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/bayeux/protocol.txt). I've been thinking about how we can push VOS events out to the web browser, and I'm wondering whether Javascript running in the browser could use a VOS runtime (running in a plugin??) with JS bindings, or if it makes more sense for the server to translate the events into a more web-specific protocol that would be interpreted entirely by Javascript code shipped along with the page (even perhaps including all the object-to-XML logic in the server as well, like Hypervos).
