  >> "Given that I object to the use of Javascript outside of browsers" Fine. You seem to have something odd and bizarre against the language. Good luck to you and your quest. You also don't seem to realize that swapping out js for some other language would mean exactly the same security issues, unless you actually fixed those security issues where they are - in the BROWSER. If you would like to learn about the language, I'd recommend "O'Reilly Definitive Javascript". Also checkout Rhino.

    > You seem to have something odd and bizarre against the language. It's not "odd and bizarre" - it's a belief that the language is fundamentally unsuitable for the things that people insist upon using it for, and reasonably well supported by my own experiences of the language, as well as the reported experiences of others. > You also don't seem to realize that swapping out js for some other language would mean exactly the same security issues, unless you actually fixed those security issues where they are - in the BROWSER. I take it you didn't read my reasonably concrete proposals for the use of proof carrying code? It becomes a largely mechanical process to verify that the browser and the language implement "security" in a sensible way at that point. > If you would like to learn about the language, I'd recommend "O'Reilly Definitive Javascript".
