Hi JavaFan, great answer, albeit an obvious one, but that begets more questions then. The "environment" in which the language runs becomes the restriction then. For some reason, the environment in which the server side languages run (the entire operating system) is just the opposite of restrictive.
And, for all the love and talk of open, we are perfectly happy with having a Hobson's Choice of only JavaScript on the browser side simply because the browser vendors choose to not cooperate beyond compatibility with JavaScript. Why isn't that alternative browsers have developed then? Ones that could offer alternatives to JavaScript? Perhaps, a Perl browser that implements a fully first class Perl implementation inside it. Perhaps, a Java or a Python browser.
Definitely (at least to me) an interesting thing to think about.
