Oh, I *know* there are Javascript testing frameworks out there... the
problem is convincing people to actually incorporate said tests as part
of the development process. Sure, *I* can run the tests with my own code
changes, but there are 50-100 developers working on the project who are
also constantly making changes, and unless they also regularly run
unittests, the whole exercise is kinda moot.
