I can now see your reasoning and agree with you, but for one
exception: at the end of the day I am of the opinion that the server
side programmer should be doing less than 5% of Javascript coding for
any given application, and even then it should only be because of a
special circumstance. The cool thing is that this reality isn't far
fetched.

Simply to reduce learningcurves. If you agree that the future
is browserbased, the one and only programming language is
javascript (in the browser), so why not share the same syntax
on core statements on the server ?

Yes, there will be differences, browsers has DOM and AJAX,
servers has CHAIN and SQL, but a for or an if statement or
a function call could easely be the same.

A fix format RPG programmer that moves to FREE will probably
also end up coding something in a browser - why learn two new
core language syntaxes if you could spare one of them ?
