JavaScript is the preferred computer language in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to a new survey of developers in that region by Evans Data Corp. Over 60 percent of developers use JavaScript and that usage has outstripped all 3GL and scripting language use, including Java itself. Part of the language's growth is due to the increased use of AJAX, used by 38 percent of developers - a 30 percent increase in the last year, according to EDC.
