Strangely enough, Netscape Corporation once marketed javascript as a lightweight server-side language. IIRC the browser-side javascript thing was an afterthought.
- btilly 17y agoYou are right that Netscape used JavaScript as a lightweight server-side language. However my memory from the times is that JavaScript was invented for the browser and then ported to the server.
- rapind 17y agoI think it was called LiveScript. I'm pretty sure it came along after JavaScript as part of Netscape enterprise server or something (kind of like a coldfusion)
- btilly 17y agoLiveScript is what they called JavaScript before the Sun deal involving Java. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#History for more.
