There is server side javascript, it's also often called ASP.

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.
