Microsoft has decided to support the Python and Ruby languages to be used for client-side development of rich applications that would enhance the plug-in technology of Silverlight browser. It will help developers using these languages without incorporating the JavaScript.
While use of javascript for Web development has been called AJAX (Asynchronous javascript and XML), Microsoft is referring to its planned capabilities as APAX and ARAX, with Python and Ruby replacing javascript in these new acronyms.
"The difference between AJAX, ARAX, and APAX is the language, if you will," said Brian Goldfarb, group manager for Microsoft's developer division, in an interview on Friday afternoon.
As of now, javascript is used for client-side development but with the Microsoft's planned to release of Silverlight 2, developers will be able to use Python and Ruby on the client side as well.
