we all know that javascript can be used for server side scripting also.but till now I have not seen any practical example or a project based solely on javascript for server side.

Node.js qualifies but Node.js is a software platform that is used to build scalable network (especially server-side) applications.

My question is why javascript is not preferred for server side scripting? Does it have any drawbacks?

    Andrew Barber and @loxxy I do understand where you are coming from, but he does have a question at the end. This question is NOT based only on OPINION, because there are practical uses to use javascript or not. Opinion does NOT matter in this case. He specifically asks are there any drawbacks. Basically what are the PROS and CONS. Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 6:09
