So, for example, in Mirrors you can do stuff like this:</div><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Monaco" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">    (js (alert ,(string-append "Hello " "world"))</span></font></div><div><br></div><div>I use Mirrors with jQuery quite a lot;</div><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Monaco" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">    (js (!dot ($ "#mybutton")</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Monaco" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">              (click (function () (alert "Hi")))))</span></font></div><div><br></div><div>As a user of PLT in a commercial environment, I'd be more than happy to talk ideas/code/etc. </div><div><br></div><div>Last note... AJAX and web frameworks... we *do* have a working framework, but it's basically undocumented.
