TDD is possible to practice using js even though I must admit I am more 'at home' specing/testing c# code...haven't that many js tests so far. I even have my automatic build run my QUnit tests. I was inspired by this blog post (http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/joshuaflanagan/archive/2008/09/18/running-jquery-qunit-tests-under-continuous-integration.aspx), and it was real easy to extend xUnit.net to accompish this.
