The point about script kiddies had little to do with JavaScript which 
was mentioned merely as a way to check form data.  Probably it might 
have been omitted.
The point was that using binary CGI programs written in C++ for example, 
means that there are no server side scripts for such a larcenous 
individual to mess with.
I'm just not sure if binary programs are any safer because I am not much 
of a web programmer.  Depends on how you write them I suppose.  Secure 
code, buffer overruns and all that.
