Basically because the installed base of browsers decide which features

On the server, you can pick a technology per solution.

Hmm!!

So it's like one language per solution in the server world??

Like using French to order food, but English to program, and Chinese
to curse!! ;-)

Okay, I can kind of see using MySQL for database programming (whatever
that is), but there's PHP and Perl and Java and C++ (or C# or C-
whatever) and Python and who knows what else...not sure why a server
language can't be "versatile" and "universal" as opposed to
"specialized" and "optimized for particular problem sets"....
