Are people really that good at duping themselves? Seems metacognition, the ability to reflect on one's own thought process, would be a really good cure for such cognitive dissonance.

OP learned a very valuable lesson: people don't always play fair, and politics/appearances count for a lot in business. The lesson was learned very cheaply, all things considered.

I would of course add "The good parts" by Crockford to the list. But maybe that is just par for the language course, before one even starts to wants to master Engineering :) JavaScript: The Good Parts - http://www.amazo

Something that would be cool: implementing X-Windows in JS, using HTML for rendering. So you could run your desktop applications remotely in the browser. You'd have to tunnel the X protocol somehow to Ajax or Websockets, of course, but

Thanks, I'm adding those to my to-buy list. Doing some research* on what will be my next all-purpose language and Clojure is currently my best candidate. * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6990935

Thanks for the cljx tip. Is it commonly used, or more of an experimental thing?

Oh, one more thing: consider adding Bitcoin/Litecoin as a donation option. Might be a good way to get some extra PR buzz going :)
