Yesterday, Google introduced Closure, the Javascript development tools behind some of their most popular applications - the behemoths that are GMail, Google Docs, and Google Maps. This is not to be confused with Clojure, the Java-compatible Lisp dialect, or the functional programming concept of “Closures”, although the nomenclature is linked in all three - Lisp and JavaScript both support closures, and they are an effective and handy programming technique.
It’s exciting to see what people will do with access to some of Google’s thick-client Javascript tools.
