Steve Yegge of Google gave the above talk, entitled “Server-side JavaScript (SSJS) on the Java VM.” It is long but great, I highly recommend it. It isn’t really about SSJS, although he did write a SSJS web framework called, “Rhino’s not Ruby” RnR. Which is a port of rails to JavaScript. Which makes him sound crazy, but he does have his reasons.

The talk is much more about dynamic languages and dynamic languages on the JVM. Even though I have no interest in the JVM anymore, he raises some great points. It is also a very funny talk, Steve keeps you engaged throughout.
