Really? I tend to find the opposite.

That is, most people who know a little Javascript and a lot of some other 
language hate Javascript. I actually know Javascript well enough that I... 
still hate it, but no more than I hate Ruby. Which is to say, I love it, 
mostly.

I'd suggest starting here, if you want to really learn Javascript:

http://crockford.com/javascript/

Now, I do agree that I'd probably rather work with Ruby in the browser. But I 
don't think it's worth the hassle, at least until something like Google Gears 
gets widespread.
