I was reading a blog recently that mentioned a product that was not really all that exciting, however it mentioned using AppJet to run JavaScript server-side. I found that curious; first, why would you want to run JavaScript server-side unless you really enjoy messy code? None the less, it was a new concept to me and one that I would like to check out at some point. According to AppJet’s website they offer:

• Server-side JavaScript
• Free hosting in the cloud
• Persistent Object Database
• Browser based development (ugh!)
