@jsreed5 Thanks. The scripting "thought experiment" remains just that. I never intended to implement it and never expected the gemlog to get the attention it received (I posted that gemlog before I even knew how to submit content to Antenna).

I did make Scriptonite which runs sandboxed JS on my server using Gemini template pages. I think it's cool - especially how easy it is to prompt for user input (which has nothing to do with scripting). That project got a lot of pushback including claims that it violated the Gemini spec. Odd considering it works in every client that correctly supports URL encoding rules.

Anyway, to each his own. My comments about pushback were in response to another post speculating about my motivations and not an attempt to gain sympathy. My tech friends seem bewildered by the amount of work I've done here and sometimes I'm bewildered myself. Maybe I'm just a stubborn guy who also happens to be a glutton for punishment.

While I have you here - one of your CGI programs "My Age In Miles" inspired me to write a Scriptonite version a few weeks back. I give credit and a link back to your page.

I am not sure why anyone would object to that.
