Stop thinking of a "scripting language" as being a bad thing.

I don't. I think in given situations it is more efficient to use a scripting language.

Javascript is fairly unique - it isn't a standalone language. You can't write applications *just* using JS (at least not that I know of!). It is interpreted, but is more a superset of HTML than a standalone language..

Nah, i regard JS as an addition to the HTML language, not a part of it. I thought you needed a seperate interpreter (Virtual Machine) to execute it anyway?

I agree with you on nearly all your points though, languages shouldn't be slagged off because of being interpreted or compiled, etc.

no JVM for javascript its built in in browser. Firefox,mozilla, netscape, internetxplorer, opera etc.
