While I am really a noob, I still think JavaScript is NOT to LIMITED. 
JavaScript has a bad scent cause there are so many people with really 
NO idea about programming that want "nifty" javascript on their 
webpages ;-(.

While I dont like JavaScript very much, I think its a REAL language 
you can do REAL things with. Maybe you can take a look at CANVAS in 
Safari/Mozilla or SVG and use these tools with JS to write web 
browser, client side, based games.

Good luck :-)
