Is javascript the language of choice? It may be a good choice if the application you are writing is a browser since Javascript functions are highly specific to this environment but I have doubts that it is useful as a general purpose language.<br />
<br />
Java might be a better language (although it is not really a script language).<br />
<br />
My personal choice would be perl which now has a number of options including being compiled, having links to C++ and being able to call it from perl.<br />

Although I agree with icd, as a possible answer to your question you could use a combination of applets using JNI and the Live Connect type communication between JS and applets. (This type of communication is available in both MSIE and Netscape, and I belive under Hot Java as well).<br />

Would you be intrested in a more detailed explanation?<br />

For an application dependent on VC++/MFC, the language of chice would be some version of Visual Basic; alternatively look at IBM's REXX.<br />

Embed JavaScript in C++ app

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
