Why not discuss the inclusion of python on the browser? Don't you think it's time to support python, ruby and other scripting languages in the browser?

I'm no javascript guru, but let's please keep the number of languages embedded in browsers limited to the absolute minimum.
And let's get rid of flash while we're 'discussing' this.
I recommend the demo where some guy is scripting in Ruby.net and following on Python... The sites can be implemented in any scripting language.
Do you think it's time for python, ruby and other scripting languages to be standardised?
Do you remember how well visual basic worked in the browser?
This approach solves many problems. Browser developers only have to support one language (javascript), and already projects like the V8 engine are making that fast and standardized. Developers can use the language of their choice.
It's what Java should have been in the first place. It's a pity that this is all built on an oddball language like javascript, but perhaps that's the only way this could have happened because there's no legacy javascript outside the browser.
