Funny how that came back into vogue. Netscape web server had a JS runtime way back then. Node is way nicer to use though.

I also remember around the same time it was possible to run TCL in browser, like Java applets.

You could run lots of things with the right plug-in/activex component. And even VBScript on IE/Win. But Netscape Navigator was not yet dead, so the only reliable browser scripting language was JS.

And "applogics", in JS, IIRC. Touched it a bit in the 2000s.
