As far as I know, JavaScript is a general purpose language but mostly it is used for Web Applications.
I am curious to know whether anyone is using JavaScript for non-Web apps. Also, are there any tools available for non-Web application development?
There’s a reasonable list here: for example, it points out that Javascript can be (and is;-) used for the purpose of scripting such non-web apps as Photoshop and OpenOffice.org. On the same wikipedia page you’ll find pointers to several stand-alone Javascript interpreters (i.e., ones that are not part of web browsers) and specs for making e.g. your Java non-web apps more easily scriptable by Javascript (via a Rhino-derived stand-alone interpreter).
