    1. CORe *"There is a server-side version of JavaScript but it's fair to say it's not especially widespread yet, and doesn't run on standard web hosting."* IIS is an **incredibly** standard, widespread web hosting platform, and has supported Javascript for, oh, a decade or so. Another very widespread platform is any JVM hosting solution, for which you can write Javascript with Java. It's not *quite* as widespread as PHP yet, but running on IIS and any JVM solution makes it very widely-available and supported indeed.

    2. CO@T.J. Crowder: But the point is, how many hosts do you know of that support server-side JavaScript right off the bat? Also, there is no standard for server-side JavaScript, so each implementation uses its own libraries and APIs, which is annoying.
      singulars
    3. CO@musicfreak: My point is that a lot of people have hosting packages *right now* that support Javascript and they don't even know it. Have an IIS-based hosting package? It supports Javascript on the server, right off the bat. Have a hosting package on Tomcat, Resin, or anything else with a JVM? It supports Javascript, right off the bat. Between those two, I'd say we're looking at more than half the hosting providers out there (because although Apache **dominates** the market, if you look, the vast majority of companies providing Apache hosting *also* provide IIS or JVM hosting).
