Are You Building Echo3 Apps in Javascript?

I'm curious if you are writing Echo3 apps using Javascript? I started building an app using Javascript only and is quite nice. I do like the Java on the server because I do Java and Swing work as well - but the Echo3 client is very nice. Are you writing an Echo app in Javascript?
Working
I'm going to be devoting a couple of weeks to focus exclusively on Echo3 and Echo3 client beginning the first week of June. I'll be focusing primarily on continuing an Echo sampler app, pimping out Echo styling, and ornamentation rendering (seperate project), Echo community, etc. Let me know if you'd like to collaborate. philip att philmaker dut com AIM: philmaker32

I am. :D

Very cool app there, lots of potential.
Actually working on a good sized one at the moment to serve a few purposes, one of them being a demo of what's possible. Don't want to go too much into what it does just yet. :) It won't be open source, at least initially. I have been pulling out useful components and open sourcing them (in the Coder's Lounge) and there are quite a few more on the way, e.g. an IFRAME-less client-side file upload with progress bar, model-based wizard pane, a YouTube player, and a few oddball layout components. The app I'm talking about is not specifically a demo app though, it's an example of application, so don't worry about it competing with what you have there.
Another thing I'm looking at in my app is using the server-side module loading code to do incremental JS module loads for client-side stuff, hope to post this soon as well.
I'm really enjoying writing code in the client-side.... I actually prefer it.
