Actually .. I have no clue what your problem with Javascript is. I'm trying to figure out if you have a problem with the language itself (i.e. the syntax), or if you just hate the idea of any dynamic language (e.g. Python) executing client-side.
>V8 that seems to have the more efficient resource usage?
V8 is a javascript engine. It executes Javascript code "by compiling JavaScript to native machine code before executing it, rather than to execute bytecode or interpreting it" - essentially hitting native speed. It just so happens to be the exact same engine that Google Chrome runs client-side to execute client-side code.
