I dug a little deeper after seeing this and came across this: http://airbnb.github.com/backpack.js/ [This is where Obama "Not Bad" meme would go].

Haha, good digging.

That's the gross/first-draft/would-this-work version.

I'll be talking about why I think that approach is undesirable and some ideas for making it better.

What about us Euro JavaScript junkies? Are we not entitled to a text version of the talk, maybe in the form of a HN comment. Are we not!?

Looks fantastic, though I thought they only used Backbone for their mobile site.

That was our first project that used Backbone. Since then, Backbone has made its way to the web site all over the place.
