I'm kind of breaking the immersion here, but I'm quite sure at some point Netscape was selling a Javascript powered web server.

I recall a web browser[1] written in /Java/ ... I don't remember any servers using javascript back then.

That's definitely server side JS, but I thought the person I was replying to meant a web server that was written in JS, but I suppose "powered" could mean that it just runs JS.

I saw that link elsewhere in this thread after my reply, and I also thought that this might have been what was being referred to.
