That may be, but Javascript's closer to Python than it is to Java, the 
name and braces notwithstanding.

http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/
... is the standalone/embeddable C implementation of Javascript used in 
Mozilla, which can be run as a shell.
There are a whole ton of other ECMAscript implementations out there too, 
in many languages, including Mozilla's Rhino project which is pure Java.
Annoyingly there are two seperate modules tying Spidermonkey to Perl, 
but neither's been taken far enough to be really useful.
