So which scripting language? Most popular, and the best?

[Hamster]

The thread said scripting language, none of these languages they talk about are scripting languages

Google csscript, csc, dnx...

While they technically aren't scripting languages you can still run them as if they were. Go for example can be run as:

go run scripfile.go

...very similar to...

python scriptfile.py
node scriptfile.js

As far as "scripting" languages go, I am sure you will find that php "runs" the web backend, whatever that means

Nothing nodeJS can't do, so why not focus your energy learning Javascript and then you can use it for both backend and frontend

So what exactly is "scripting"?

Looking at your ll confusion question I think you should brush up on your terminology...

Javascript already runs the Web. Add nodejs to that and it now runs the Web backend as well.

Please tell me how I'm not right?

This part:

the future of the web

Fair enough

Stop shifting the goals posts.

I can do it too: nodejs, nothing you can't do with Java. Why not learn a mature language that offers far more job opportunities in this country and most others??

Lol, coming from you.

Exactly... not quite as specific as asking "only language I can use to manipulate HTML DOM"

I think that it is very easy for people to get caught up in the 1% and think this is real world reality. Scott hanselman has a good article regarding this, so called dark matter developers.

It's better than javascript, but that's not saying much

I prefer strongly typed languages then you don't end up with things like ===

Still used on majority of web

Yeah me too, when done properly you just end up loving the compiler assist.

Sure... by that token so is Javascript, and at a time Flash (with ActionScript)
How come you've never considered something like Ruby on Rails?

I spent a year working on PIC in assembly language. Loved it!

Assembler, or C? You're surely not editing bits.

Don't need in our business

We looked at all the options,ruby, nodejs, python, asp, c# and meh.

Most our dev is Java and C for Android and Apple.
