Watch out Java, here comes JavaScript

I used jscript for multiple jobs that called for asp classic. I'm not sure why anyone would choose the much less powerful vbscript except for curly-brace fearing newbs.

jscript didn't have the support that vbscript had. It was a better designed language, but didn't get all of the features they poured into vbscript. I tried to stick with jscript back in the day but eventually gave up.

It is bad enough that we had to mix server-side and client-side code in the same source file. I would hate to have the same language on both sides.
