2011-08-25 Thursday - JavaScript Rule Engines?

I spent a few minutes this afternoon doing some searches for possible Web UI based JavaScript Rule Engines…and came across some of these articles which may be of interest for possible strategies on how to easily package Web User Interface business rules…

Not specifically recommending this for adoption...more of an interesting observation...as I'm currently doing some research for a client engagement...
