     3. (Computers) [all capitals] an object-oriented computer
        programming language, derived largely from C++, used
        widely for design and display of web pages on the
        world-wide web. It is an interpreted language, and has
        been suggested as a platform-independent code to allow
        execution of the same progam under multiple operating
        systems without recompiling. The language is still (1997)
        under active development, and is evolving.
