New Looks interesting...
...the language is definitely rooted in Lisp. I've been meaning to [link|http://lambda.weblogs.com/discuss/msgReader$1101|play with it] for a while, but a couple of job transitions have prevented me from getting far.

I definitely could use much better control over forms than I now have with html or dhtml. Most of the standards push these days is geared towards presentation or server side processing. Curl seems to be the only thing happening of any substance on the client side browser.

New For presentation, yes...
DOM and JavaScript are ok for getting dynamically adjustable content on the client side. But it's still hard to build up the pieces of the forms from the primitives and the client side validation still is hard to build up systematically. DOM doesn't introduce any new form elements, though it does make them a little more flexible.

New Looked at it
But its not the same as having a great graphics library and widget set at your disposal. For instance, could you write a UML modeling tool using DOM? I think it would be pretty hard.

This was a random error that most likely occurred when a ray of cosmic radiation hit a memory chip at just the right angle resulting in a bit changing from a 0 to a 1.
