Google Releases Open Source JavaScript Tools

Dan Jones writes "Google has open sourced several of its key JavaScript application development tools, hoping that they will prove useful for external programmers to build faster Web applications. According to Google, by enabling and allowing developers to use the same tools that Google uses, they can not only build rich applications but also make the Web really fast. The Closure JavaScript compiler and library are used as the standard Javascript library for pretty much any large, public Web application that Google is serving today, including some of its most popular Web applications, including Gmail, Google Docs and Google Maps. Google has also released Closure Templates which are designed to automate the dynamic creation of HTML. The announcement comes a few months after Google released and open sourced the NX server."

Agreed. After all, those soldiers were going to die in the Middle East anyway.

Personally, I'm pissed about the shootings because of the inevitable knee-jerk anti-terrorist laws they're going to pass when it comes to light that the murderer, Major Nidal Hasan, once used bittorrent to download Pearl Jam's "Jeremy". You can bet your ass that we'll be seeing a related YRO story here in 3...2...1....
