A great example of the kind of styles Enyo uses:

Seriously beautiful. Next chance I get, I'm going to get to grips with Enyo- it looks fantastic.

We're working on a bunch of cross-platform widgets as part of the continued development of Enyo 2.0. This means porting over the widgets from 1.0, giving them a fresh style, and making sure they work as many places as possible.

That page initially froze the tab in Chrome 16 running on OSX 10.6.

Hey Unwiredben, I think I remember you from the webOS Developer Portal. I just got my touchpad 10 minutes ago. How can I help with the new Enyo FOSS initiative?

looks like it has a lot of similarities (philosophically) with Google's Closure Library:

The latter's compability with the advanced mode of the closure compiler make it more appealing to me though.

I've always thought that webOS was a lot more compatible with Google's vision and philosophy than Android, and I wish they had webOS from the beginning.
