I don't see it mentioned very often, but google's closure-library has some really phenomenal patterns for building maintainable javascript. Its worth checking out Michael Bolin's book, Closure: The Definitive Guide, which goes in depth of the Component and Control frameworks. I've been using the library for 2 or 3 years now, and I am always surprised to see it has such a small community.

Exactly. I see closure as an ambitious effort to make JavaScript a better language for real complicate applications.

It does look like an interesting library. It's weird that the community seems so small.
