proxy autoconfig is javascript-based but uses very limited javascript.

while I agree javascript is not ideal, it's very hard to configure proper  
proxy configuration without using scripting language.

and, when we need scripting language, it's much easier to use something that 
has been implemented and is used in browsers.

because standard servers and not proxies usually run on standard ports.
Also, FTP protocol (port 21) does not support proxying, and using FTP proxy 
usually involves hacks.
