Subversion. I like a lot of aspects of git, but aren't about to migrate just yet.

Reply on December 24 2009, 9:58am:

JS is actually its own language, not "javascript", and it is implemented using EEL2 (part of WDL), which is derived from EEL, which was the expression evaluation library used for AVS (thanks Francis!). So it really just evolved... Comment...
