v8cgi: Everything Old is New Again

When the Netscape web server first came out, about 58 web-years ago, they touted the ability to write server-side scripts in a new language called “javascript”. Well, guess what? now there’s
v8cgi from from google, which lets you do the same thing.

Big deal? Maybe it is. Javascript has come a long long way from the days when it was just used for rollover images. Imagine applying the power of jQuery to your server-side development. Is this an easy way to reach the nirvana of functional web programming I’ve been seeking?
