Javascript for Everything

Do you still think that Javascript belongs only in the web browser? Think again!
JSDB is JavaScript for databases, a scripting language for data-driven, network-centric programming on Windows, Mac, Linux, and SunOS. JSDB works with databases, XML, the web, and email. It is free and open-source. Use it as a JavaScript shell, to run CGI programs, or as a web server.
Do all your scripting with ONE language. JSDB is built on a standalone JavaScript shell for various operating systems, Linux, Windows, Mac. Suddenly, even web developers have the power to develop real applications without going into the complexities of Visual Studio.

With wxJavaScript and its numerous bindings for Curl, MySQL, etc, you can even put together powerful Windows based applications in a jiffy, and did I mention you only need to know JavaScript? No pre-requisite for Bash, ActionScript, Python, Tcl, etc.
