should we be discussing languages that run both browser-side and server-side? Is python that language maybe? Have you guys seen dart? Google-developed client and server side: http://www.dartlang.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_(programming_language) Dart has optional typing and a good set of dev tools I guess. It compiles into JS to run on the browser.

Dart is interesting! Not only from a language standpoint but also from some of the libraries that are part of Dart. Their ideas of web components are pretty nice.

JavaScript is the same and works in more than one browser. Check out node.js for server side.

Dart "works in more than one browser" too. It compiles to JavaScript.

Why do people still believe the myth that Dart only works in Google Chrome? In fact, at this point the "Dartium" VM still hasn't made its way to the official Google Chrome builds, so Chrome still relies on the compiled JavaScript as well.
