<sigh> Not to sound rude, but do you have ANY idea what you're talking about?!
There is server side javascript, it's also often called ASP. Maybe you've heard
of it?

Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's the best solution. Cutting
out a large proportion of the web because you like using an obscure and
little-known language in the browser is at best misguided.

What if a new language scripting called "Foobar" were introduced in a single
browser too? Should all the others adopt it just because 1 guy used it in a page
once? Microsoft failed when they attempted to force VBscript into web pages, and
they mostly failed with Perlscript. I've never seen Perlscript used in *any*
site, for good reason - it's non-standard!

I'd rather see the Moz developers using their time on more useful things than
implementing another fringe technology that virtually no-one will ever use.
