I was looking into how to create a Sublime Text editor plugin
yesterday and came upon the Emmet project.
For anyone writing HTML, CSS pages etc. do check Emmet out.
In the short time I've spent with it today I would put on the "hot
projects" list as worth the energy looking at.

Typically you will be typing a character or 2 and whamo........ up
comes all that HTML junk... Sweet.
I know it runs in Sublime Text 2 + 3, but saw mention of it working in
other editors.
Finally for anyone interested to see how far Javascript has come Emmet
is a great sample worth looking into deeper.
The plugin is a combo of PyV8 Javascript talking with Python and that
is talking with Sublime Text which at it's core is C++.
Simply put some amazing work going on inside here and it's appearing
to be working very smooth.......... so far.
As far the Single App vs Web App topic... well what was.... now is hot
again.
There is so much going on in Javascript world these days it's exciting
to watch it all unfold.
This link is just a sample of some the crazy stuff going on.

In the end I don't see Javascript really replacing other languages and
I still prefer Python.
Yet if you are dealing with any kind of content in a browser than you
darn well better have Javascript on your work bench soon.
