Nifty: JavaScript + OpenGL == JiggleScript
JiggleScript is a development enviroment that combines the well-known web programming language JavaScript with OpenGL, the standard graphics API used in modern 3D games. The target audience are those that may be familar with JavaScript already from building web pages and would like to try their hand at something that might be a little more fun without needing to learn C or C++ or other “bigger” languages.
