On 04:39 PM 8/25/98 -0700, I personally witnessed Jynx (Wyrm / Tygr / Myth)

Nothing is, actually. I was looking for something general-purpose which had
specific limitations to make it appropriate for internet usage, and Perl
lost out on that one (too powerful) as did Java (ditto). I figure that
JavaScript is accessible enough for the layman to use, and similar enough
to Java and C and C++ that it could lead to more programmers, which would
be a Good Thing. Perl isn't really similar to anything. If you learn Perl,
then you can use what you know to learn... more Perl.
I don't want a proprietary MUD scripting language, because that will end up
being just another MUSHcode. MUSHcode is good, flexible and powerful and
useful, but it's not something most people want or need or have an
incentive to learn. JavaScript is useful for something other than the MUD,
which I figure makes it more likely to be worth learning and therefore more
likely to be a good choice of scripting language.
