Performance is a non-issue

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:43:57 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Last-Modified: Thu, 30 Oct 1997 19:45:02 GMT ETag: "2900ed-1bf-5911eb80" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 447 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Re: Scripting for end-user
End-users need a simple way to introduce interactivity in their pages. Actual solutions, like JavaScript, embeds script directly in HTML. The main drawback is a poor performance relatively to byte-code. The main advantage is easy writing of code.

Performance is a non-issue in this context. The only thing that counts is making the user's job easier. We have a long way to go in that respect.
