Javascript as command line callable scripting language

Question

I\'m looking for a way to write some simple scripts in javascript, like I would in ruby. For example, I might write a script like:

var str = \"Hello World\"

As mentioned in this previous question, you might want to check out Rhino, an implementation of Javascript written in Java. Specifically, the page on the JavaScript shell might be of interest.

Hope this helps.
