Offline language most similar to javascript?
<p>Just a quick query ...</p>

<p>I would like to ask people's opinions as to which language is most similar to javascript?  I don't program for a living, but I have been learning javascript in my spare time.  I would now like to have a shot at making a desktop application, and I think it would help to choose one which is most similar, if at all possible, to javascript?</p>

<p>e.g. python, ruby, C#, visual basic ... I have no idea and haven't had much luck googling this</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
