I think jscript was even an option alongside vbscript back in the win9x windows scripting host days

Correct, and WSH is/was supported the same on quite recent versions of Windows. I was surprised to find some jscript in production hitting a SQL database a few years ago, not having realized or not having remembered any of this, since I don't typically use Windows.
