Thomas Fuchs has been writing hard-core JavaScript since waaaaay back in the late 1990s.
His famous script.aculo.us framework was created during the development of one of the most highly interactive applications the Web had ever seen. He's continued to push the boundaries of what is possible with JavaScript, with Scriptaculous and its successor, Scripty2.
He is a self-described "artsy wanker."
