I was wondering whether is any interest in combining Javascript with
BioRuby/BioJAVA on the JVM. There are two JS interpreters for the JVM
now, and am starting to lean the way of using Javascript for education
as JS is now a common language and it may be a way of getting (young)
people to try stuff in bioinformatics. I really like

  http://eloquentjavascript.net/

Writing a new BioJS may not be necessary with the good stuff we
already have.

Any thoughts?
