  1. How many client-side scripting language implementations did you see except JavaScript and VBScript? Like: type="text/C++Script", text/CSharpScript, text/oberonScript, etc.

  2. How can I learn if my browser supports those languages?

Is JavaScript the only client-side language?

The future of JavaScript While JavaScript is not the only client-side scripting language on the Internet, it was one of the first and it is still the most widely used. Many developers believe that JavaScript is inefficient and finicky, so they have made many improvements to the language over the years.

The only languages I have ever seen supported by web browsers in <script> elements are:

  • JavaScript / JScript (which is ubiquitous)
  • VBScript (IE 10 and lower only)
  • PerlScript (IE with a plugin from ActiveState only)
  • Dart (in a nonstandard build of Chromium) which is not intended for production use.

The HTML 4 specification gives examples of Tcl, but I've never heard of a browser that implemented this.

In any practical sense (for WWW development), JavaScript is the only (not really a) choice.

There are also various languages (e.g. Dart, TypeScript, ES6/7) which have translators to convert programs to (ES5 flavoured) JavaScript which can then run in browsers.
