Apart from impressive speed improvements via Google Chrome's V8 or Firefox's TraceMonkey, I had forgotten that new versions of JavaScript had some really nice language features (I still hope that optional static type annotations make it into ECMAScript 4). The article “Pythonic Javascript, it's Python with braces!” (cached) reminded me.
