   It would seem strange to me for a database advertising itself as "built of the web" to divert development resources _away_ from the fundamental programming language of the web. As I understand, the use of JavaScript in CouchDB is actively promoted as a web-centric feature.
   
   Understandably, the performance hit from ol' SpiderMonkey must put a damper on that 'feature' for many. But considering work on Chakra is already well underway, perhaps it's best to wait for those benchmarks before deciding if a No-JS mode is worth pursuing?
