Lets let a cat loose among the pegions.... :evil:

I have known about SSJS for a while; but being a PHP fan, was never interested in digging deep. Recently one of my client mentioned this and insisted all server and client side coding should be done in JS. I started looking this up and confess that I am mildly intrigued.

I am posting the topic here to generate a debate and want to know your view.
* Do you have experience with SSJS?
* What are the pros and cons ompared to PHP or other more traditional server side scripts from programmers perspective?
* Has anyone swithced from PHP to SSJS in a particular project and if so, why?
* Are more clients interested in SSJS? Whats in it for them?

EDIT

No comment??
