Here's a fun little survey...
Who here likes to stub out stuff in the system browser and then actually implement things in the debugger?
I find myself doing that sometimes, usually when I'm "on a roll" with what I'm doing. I've never done that with another programming system.

Names matter.
Below are four array methods from Apple's Cocoa framework, and the equivalent JavaScript methods:
Cocoa: addObject JavaScript: push Cocoa: addObjectsFromArray JavaScript: splice Cocoa: arrayByAddingObject JavaScript: concat Cocoa: arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray JavaScript: concat

which is referenced from Bracha's blog entry.
Interesting to see the evaluation of the Processing language and the talk about metaphors. E.g. the example of pasting the code for drawing a red flower.

I also saw a really neat demo of a framework for debugging system calls. I hope to find out more about this when I quiz the implementor in early February. I would be less vague if I could remember the name of the framework!
