I think you mean java server pages here, not javascript...
but don't know why embedding code would be good for non-programmers??
I HIGHLY recommend JSP, see jakarta.apache.org for info. I've heard that
newer ASP implementations have tricky optimizations, but (assuming you're
familiar with Java or even like that environment) it makes a LOT of sense
to keep class files (code libraries) that are being used by multiple
users at once in shared memory... I've been so pleasantly surprised, too,
at the performance of java when ONE jvm is run on a dedicated (or even
partially-dedicated) server, wow. The embeded perl example does not
strike me -- it seems like embedding servlet code (printf's) which doesn't
show an advantage? or is the perl environment carried along through a
page between code snippets or even across a session??
I think apache.org achieve Total World Domination!
