Well, for javascript support, there's another nice thing happening:
- plscheme is built on GNU Guile - next version of GNU Guile supports javascript too
http://plscheme.projects.postgresql.org/ http://wingolog.org/archives/2009/02/22/ecmascript-for-guile
So my current guess at which javascript engine we'd get first would be
plscheme. Now I don't know what implication that would have on the
binary storage format of javascript or json documents.
