At least in the ASP world Javascript is entirely usable on the server side. ASP lets you use pretty much any language you can use with Windows Script Host. Out of the box you get Javascript (or JScript as the case may be) and VBScript (which is the default language), but you can use others (Python and Perl come to mind immediately, but there are others).

Thanks Craig,
