I'd probably go with Perl, myself, and I doubt you'd need any more
speed than that :-)  but just for the record --

JavaScript has *never* been client-side-only, there's always been a
server-side implementation on Netscape servers. And now, there are
standalone options, Rhino <http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/overview.html>
being one, so if you just /really/ like using JavaScript, it's not
totally out of the question.

FWIW!
