A few days ago I said that “the JavaScript world needs to build a shared code repository like CPAN. Otherwise it will always be just another hack of a hack.” (If that sounds too critical out of context, please <a href=”read the full post.) Well, I just read on Ajaxian that some Perl hackers are creating JSAN.

I particularly like what the authors have to say on their about page:

As a long-time Perl developer, writing software with JavaScript has been somewhat painful. Unlike when writing Perl code, there was no good repository of open source code to draw from for JavaScript. That’s how JSAN was conceived.

Smart guys.

Also, Chris, you may want to both submit your Williamsburger mapping libraries and suggest to the Rico team that they do the same…
