While true, as a basic statement. There is nothing that I can find 
in Java the makes 'data integrity' better. In fact, I think it obscures 
data, makes it hard to work with, extremely hard to debug...
way to much 'it's a magic black box object you feed other objects to and 
maybe what you want will come out of it'

JavaScript looks a little bit like Java, but it ain't Java. 

And: 98% of the 'You can learn JavaScript here' websites on the 'net
should be destroyed to keep "webmaster/photoshop/flash" junkies from 
learning really bad JavaScript from inane and insane examples that 
regurgitated copies of each other.
