In 1994, CGI back-ends were the closest thing to interactivity in the browser, and that's far back enough that a good deal of it was written in C. Strong typing abounds!

But JavaScript was an absolute joy by comparison. Heck, even Perl CGI was a joy compared to having to write executables for every fricking thing.

Note that by JavaScript, I mean the mostly hand-crafted stuff in earlier sites, not the enormous frameworks that are in use these days.
