Aaron,
Your question is specific to Apache::ASP only, so it might be better
suited for their list. Still, I've used Apache::ASP in the past (and
I've also had my dark days using M$'s ASP on IIS), so I might
conjecture that Joshua probably won't ever fully implement VBScript
(though I think I remember him talking about a VBScript-to-Perl
converter). I shouldn't speak for Joshua, though. He may be planning
to support VBScript.
I might point out, however, that if your requirements include a
"Linux-based"
website, then you're going to have troubles with these "developers
[who] insist on using VBScript and ASP." If they're not interested in
the enlightenment that comes from using Perl and Apache::ASP, then
you'll probably have to lay down the dough for IIS.
The short answer is probably "Don't hold your breath" for VBScript. I
couldn't comment on Sun's product. Sorry. Try your question on
the Apache::ASP list:
