Netscape Web Server supported server-side JavaScript since the mid 90s. Rhino was a development intended to provide JavaScript support to Netscape's all-Java browser ("Javagator"), because at the time Java was clearly The Future and we would all be running it on our desktops.

One of the funnier things about Netscape's server-side JS "LiveWire"...

LiveWire's unpopularity and subsequent death was often attributed to its need for compiling and bundling steps, which seemed cumbersome to the JS devs at the time.

This just reminded me of Sun HotJava, which was genuinely one of the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced.
