The phrase "term paper" was originally used to describe a paper (usually a research based paper) that was due at the end of the "term" - either a semester or quarter, depending on which unit of measure a school used. However, the term has fallen out of favor. Common usage has "term paper" and "research paper" as interchangeable, but this is not completely accurate. Not all term papers involve academic research, and not all research papers are term papers. f="http://www.term-paper.biz/custom-term-paper.html">term paper A term paper is a research paper written by students over an academic term or semester which accounts for a large amount of a grade and makes up much of the course. Term papers are generally intended to describe an event or concept or argue a point. A term paper is A written original work discussing a topic in detail, usually several typed pages in length and is often due at the end of a semester.

Java has an incredible number of frameworks for... everything. There are dozens of web frameworks alone, several of which are official standards: Applets, Servlets, JSP/JSTL, JSF and now JavaFX. This doesn't even include the OSS efforts. It's the same story for persistence, version/source control, testing, etc. As a language matures and gains market/mindshare these things happen. If you are opposed to innovation and choice, and all the warts that comes with, an application stack from Microsoft is something to consider. They usually have only 1 or 2 ways of doing things and are those usually supported w/tools and documentation. I see SubtleGradient’s point, but this is hardly restricted to the JS dev community.

I'm sick of all the waste caused by this trend in general. You must admit that re-invention is an overarching trend across the JS dev community. And yes, of course I appreciate next-level devs like Tobie. Sorry, this isn’t so much a problem with this specific project. I’m sick of all the waste caused by this trend in general.

It's almost identical to the original Prototype/Scriptactulous testing framework, and by extension JsUnitTest, but removes most of the problems with that tool and adds support for multiple (including non-browser) output formats. Was there any discussion in the presentation on if and when the upcoming versions of proto/scripty would be moving their tests to this tool?
