Here, let's see what you JavaScript programmers have got

I agree. "It is a rare day" can mean the weather, for example, is
unusual or that it is pleasant, but it wouldn't mean the weather is
poor.

Sorry, I disagree.

I'm not used to the sort of phrase like "It is a rare day", referring
to unusually good weather, but it would seem that someone who could
use it that way could just as easily use it in reference to a day with
unusually poor weather.

(This is essentially the same problem as the one I've been having for
years with "You send me".)

Yes, it can go either way. "It's a rare dry day in Bergen" or "It's a
rare stormy day in San Diego" would both be appropriate uses. All
"rare" is doing in the sentence is showing that whatever the
condition, these conditions are not normal.

Absent a weather qualifier, a rare day is assumed to be pleasant.

Here, let's see what you JavaScript programmers have got

Here is a place to share your large or larger full-blown JavaScript
applications:
real.comp.lang.js.apps  (a new google group)

Here is the description of this open public newsgroup:
A place where good full-length, full-featured, pure (or near-pure)
JavaScript large and larger applications are described and their code
shared and explained.  The language used for browser programs should
be all javascript. With some programs a little php or other cgi may of
course be involved.

I think this new group should be call comp.lang.LOLrarz.
