Is BitcoinJS under active development? I love the idea of a powerful alternative to bitcoind, and especially the ability to subscribe on blockchain events and easily process them on the server side.  

However, I see the last activity on the BitcoinJS code is 7-10 months ago.
Does anybody know the status of the BitcoinJS projects or can suggest alternatives?

Update: I'm now looking into bitsofproof supernode, a project that looks really promising.
Not sure but I think those guys started working on the Ripple project instead. They are skilled JS developers and they want to do something of their own with Ripple.
