Over-simplifications and over-generalizations are ones enemies rather than friends. We didn't say that Visual Basic is an assembly language of an office or AutoLisp is an assembly of construction business.

Repeat after me: Javascript is just an in-browser scripting language. Period.

Yes. I know, it is possible to use JS on a server side, but you also can hack a VB run-time to send you some files via http. Wait, isn't that crap already exist and called Azure?
