…an implementation of XSL-T in JavaScript, intended for use in fat web pages, which are nowadays referred to as AJAX applications.

I'm looking forward to playing around with this.  I have being doing a lot of work with XSLT lately so it will be interesting to see how Google have married this with AJAX.

On a different note, I was at another DJMG meeting last week where we discussed dynamic languages such as Ruby on Rails and Groovy.  It looks like there are a lot of advantages to using these languages over the conventional Java program.  Jake was able to show us how Ruby on Rails can provide you with web interface to database tables in just a few clicks.   As we discussed this software works great for what 95% of web applications use J2EE for and at the end of the day this is what we usually are developing.
