  1. Re:No! Not Javascript... on Open Source and Javascript · · Score: 1

    Javascript is for CLIENT side transactions, you can't let the server-side do everything.

    There are uses for Javascript, such as form validation.

    If you do form validation on the server-side you are doing multiple _bad_ things:

    a) Waste of bandwidth
    b) Higher CPU usage on the server side due to dishing out pages, error pages and simple error checking


    Finally, Javascript IS lightweight, it just some people over use Javascript and do all sorts of cr*p with it.

    And like all things, you want a scripting language on your CLIENT as well as on your server.

    If you want to do low-level stuff, there are always plugins and API plugins that you can use on both the client and server side.

    Javascript is a good thing and the idea (of having a client scripting language) at least will be around for a long time.
