JS is pretty friendly for string manipulation. It's got regex, some good string methods and, of course, native handling of string types. I can't imagine C/C++ would be the first choice here (though with the right string handling libraries I'm sure you could make something super perfomant). Not sure if there's a perl view server, but that sounds like a good match. Consider development time and what you're familiar with. The JS view server is probably the most mature because it's the only "official" one next to writing "native" Erlang.
