The 1.0 release of Ember.js is named for J.J. Abrams!

I saw Tom Dale of Ember fame speak at a joint meeting of Austin JavaScript and also a meetup group called Ember ATX. The talk had to do with the new, not-beta version which is a reboot and thus named for someone good at reboots. I would have gotten more out of the presentation if I were already Ember-saavy which I was not. The new version embraces AMD while trying to containerize AMD modules to make them easier to work with. Tom Dale said he made significant changes in the name of keeping Ember from becoming the PHP of JavaScript frameworks. Ha!
