Browser Bindings for Python, Perl, and other Languages?

Garfycx asks: "Hi everybody! This week Slashdot linked to a story about Java and its roll over C/C++. While reading it I remembered one of the first strategies to make Java a de-facto standard - the browser-applet. as far as I know it did not make it, and I don't see many of them in cyberspace. But in combination with servlets they may come up again. I am not quite sure who is in need of applets but I wondered why there never was a browser-plugin for languages like Python or Perl. I would like to hear about reasons why there is no effort to expand the capabilities of websites with language-plugins. Couldn't there be a universal CORBA-like plugin for Mozilla to be used by most languages or such?"

Are you really so dense as to think ActiveScripting and Live/JavaScript are the same thing?

Are you really such a useless fucking douchebag that you have to post your drivel as an Anonymous Coward? Clearly you are. Last time I checked Netscape was closed source too. Also I never said dropping M$ was a security panacea. If you ever have *ANYTHING* intelligent to say, I'll let you know what it is. Cheers there Captain Douchebag!
