I disagree - it's already been said that you can use JavaScript
server-side, but a discussion of a language's features and/or syntax
are independent of the use context anyway...

I still reckon I would have picked up the principles of procedural
programming far quicker had they taught us JavaScript instead of
Pascal & C++ at Uni (Industrial Design, in case you're wondering, not
CompSci).
