[FIXED] Why is javascript not part of the project architecture?

Issue

I recently came across a question where someone asked what architecture we use in the company and someone else replied LAMP.

I am not sure why we do not include javascript as a part of the architecture. Is it implied? Or is there something I am missing? What if someone is using say ECMA script or VB script instead of javascript?

Solution

Because "LAMP" only addresses the technologies that run on the server-side, not what runs on the client-side, like the browser, or JavaScript within the browser. (And at the time "LAMP" was coined, JavaScript saw much less usage than it does today.)
