Ruby
The Ruby on Rails framework implements a Domain-specific language named RJS, which can be used to write Ruby code that generates Javascript code. The code generated by RJS is usually loaded using Ajax, e.g. by using Ajax-enabled helper methods Ruby on Rails provides, such as the link_to_remote helper.
Many of the Ruby on Rails Ajax-enabled helper methods work by using Prototype to perform an Ajax request. In most cases Javascript code is returned by the server to be executed by the browser, unlike the usual case where Ajax is used to retrieve data in XML or JSON format.

“Its quick silver bell beating, beating
And down the dark one ruby flare
Pulsing out red light like an artery,”

“Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
Lat me the dead look on;
Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
She lay an’ smil’d on him.
O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
For I hae fasted for your sake
These fully day [is] nine.”
