Definitely wrong. If there's a lingua-franca of the internet, it's JavaScript.
- jacquesm 12y agoThe internet does not have a lingua franca. The web does, and it is HTML.
- Pacabel 12y agoSorry, that's total nonsense. Far more of the Internet depends on C, C++, or some mix of the two. Software written in them runs the networking gear, the servers, and the clients that are critical to the Internet's existence. And keep in mind that the major JavaScript implementations today are all built using C and/or C++ in one way or another. So pretty much anywhere that JavaScript is being used, then C and C++ are being used, too.
