ASP is not a scripting language, it is a framework. ASP can be used with VBScript, JScript or even Python.

>> What does it mean? Is it his first website? or "Boston, MA television station"'s first website? or the first website ever to be created?
Please rephrase it..

I can't tell if I am not parsing this sentence the way it was intended, or if it's making a reference I'm not familiar with, or what... but can someone who understands what this passage is trying to say, please rewrite or clarify it:
"...mnemonic coding and the results [were] simply served back..."

:I agree, it should be moved to "web programming". Keeping it as "server-side scripting" is just reinforcing a falsehood (ie, that this Article is about scripting rather than just programming) [[User:Sjbrown|Sjbrown]] ([[User talk:Sjbrown|talk]]) 19:02, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Server-side scripting adds dynamic behaviours to a server, and can increase the power and flexibility of an otherwise "static" server implementation. For instance, defining rules for workflow, orchestrating multiple operations for a user of the system, or even defining dynamic filters and criteria for data access.

I think that the list of languages should be limited strictly to server-side scripting -- that is, languages that allow scripts to be embedded in web pages. '''Any''' programming language can be used through CGI or a web-server module to generate content, so including languages like Python or Java makes the criteria so broad that it's essentially useless.

::Done — removed general languages and added a note. [[User:Dpm64|David]] 12:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
:All languages theoretically allow scripts to be embedded, what is required is a webserver (or a webserver extension, module, etc.) that can recognize when to invoke the language on the server side.

== list of languages, general errors ==
there are some problems with the list of languages.
* it's incomplete and the selections are seemingly random, missing a lot of [[unix shell]] scripting languages, [[common lisp]], [[c++]], [[pascal]], many others.
* common file extensions aren't very relevant in determining the probable language of a program, especially one executed server-side
also,
''Server-side scripting is usually used to provide an interface and to limit client access to proprietary databases or other data sources.''
this either needs a citation or isn't true. that a server-side script appears as [[markup]] in a [[web client]] is a side-effect of generating the program/page on the server's side: the function evaluates down to a result that is html or something else client-side. it isn't a question of motivation, especially being protecting proprietary source, it is simply that a program executed on a server returns to the web browser only the results of the function and not the function itself.
this entire [[dynamic web]] section seems to have a lot of problems, i think a team should be assembled to improve upon it.

== Many of the listed "languages" are actually frameworks or libraries ==
ASP.NET, for example, is one part of Microsoft's .NET framework and probably shouldn't be listed as a language. VBScript, the most common language used for ASP.NET projects, might be a suitable replacement. Other items on the list are too obscure or irrelevant, as others have stated. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/174.22.49.71|174.22.49.71]] ([[User talk:174.22.49.71|talk]]) 05:34, 9 March 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== [[Server-side rendering]] and [[Server-side generation]] ==
Those should be separated articles (they are redirects now). If someone want to extend those sections feel free to do so. I can help when I have time.
Sorry that I didn't do that, but I'm not that active on EN wiki (I'm mostly contributing to pl.wiki) and I don't have that much free time. I just wanted to have something on those topics on Wikipedia. [[User:Jcubic|jcubic]] ([[User talk:Jcubic|talk]]) 21:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
== Language list (fixed/removed) ==
I fixed the multi-reported issue of the listed languages, by simply removing it. It's not necessary to complete the article, wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a list of things. If a list is really necessary, create the page [[List of server-side scripting languages]], or [[Category::Server-side scripting languages]]!
