TameJs is an extension to JavaScript created by the OK Cupid team. Its purpose is to make event programming "easier to write, read, and edit." It can be used with Node.js or other V8 projects. According to the site: "Tame is not an attempt to dumb down async programming. It's just a cleaner way to write it."
You can find it in GitHub, licensed under the MIT license.

Fabrice Bellard, creator of the multiple architecture emulator QEMU and FFmpeg, amongst other open source projects, has unleashed his Javascript powered PC emulator. In its current state, it boots a stripped down, text mode Linux implementation and runs within a modern browser. Interesting curio or a potentially useful tool?

You can run a variety of Linux commands in the emulator. Since its initial release on May 16 2011, this project has seen some feature additions namely - a clipboard to exchange data between the VM and the host, and support for Opera and Internet Explorer apart from Firefox.
The clipboard is seen as /dev/clipboard in the emulator. You can use this clipboard to easily transfer data from your host machine to the virtual machine (and vice versa) as explained in the FAQ.
Do check it out. It is really a cool demonstration of the power of Javascript.
Mozilla employe and JavaScript Brendan Eich is giving a surprise talk at Node.js today on the subject of using Mozilla's Spidermonkey JavaScript engine in Node.js, instead of Google's V8.
The Spidermonkey/Node.js project has been known for a while now.
Waterbear is a Scratch-like visual programming language for JavaScript. It was created by Dethe Elza, who gave a presentation on the project today at JSConf in Portland, OR. Waterbear brings the concepts of kid-friendly, educational programming languages, such as Logo and Scratch, to the modern, browser-oriented computer. Users can create programs by snapping together blocks.
Unlike Scratch, you can view the code generated by Waterbear.
