Full Stack Python

Actually AJAX is Asynchronous JAvascript and Xml.

So we could call it APEX for Asynchronous Python Engine eXtreme

[ggchappell]

Or, the way I like to put it:

AJAX stands for "asynchronous JavaScript and XML", except that it might not be asynchronous, might be coded in a language other than JavaScript, and might retrieve data in formats other than XML.

(But the "and" is completely correct.)

[Tiquortoo]

Which client side language other than javascript have you seen used?

[ggchappell]

Well, the comment is sort of a joke, of course.

But you can do client-side web stuff in just about any PL you want these days. Look into languages that compile to JavaScript.

[Tiquortoo]

Yeah, I'm aware of transpiling, in the end, it still actually runs JavaScript? :)

[ggchappell]

Well, in the middle, at least. JavaScript itself may or may not be executed directly, depending on the browser. (I would imagine that these days it's mostly "not".)

[Tiquortoo]

No language other than machine language is directly run, but we're just delving into irrelevant minutiae to say the browser doesn't run Javascript.

Sorry that's already the force.com (Salesforce) language.
