I haven't heard the term before.  Does it mean a lot PITAs from legacy 
code?  The javascripts aren't bad.  My problem with them are my own 
typos when I get change requests.   I don't have a way to find out about 
them before I test the WAR that takes less time than doing just that.

I have read those terms, haven't used them yet.  It didn't occur to me 
that those things could be used to reduce/eliminate javascript.   Can 
you check for simple syntax errors with these technologies before you 
run your app?  That is my problem with javascript so far.
