there are essentially no replacements for javascript, unless you (and you shouldn't!) count flash. there was vb-script, but it is a train wreck and fortunately not supported by any browser.

there are however a lot of excellent javascript libraries and frameworks for different purposes, e.g. jQuery, Mootools, sproutcore, knockout.js, backbone.js, prototype, script.acoul.us etc etc etc etc.

jQuery isn't replacement for JavaScript but only library that helps with faster code developing. Instead of JavaScript on Internet Explorer was (or maybe still is) possible to write scripts using VBScripts, but it's very unpopular until only IE can understand this code.

If you mean libraries there is:

  • jQuery
  • Prototype + Script.aculo.us
  • Mootools
  • Dojo
  • ExtJs
  • YUI
  • etc.

Comparison of most of them you can find on Wikipedia.

Try Dart or CoffeeScript, they do compile into Javascript because Javascript is the only widely available scripting language for web browsers without use of a plugin.

As @Oded has pointed out, jQuery is javascript. Here is a list of alternative javascript frameworks:

jQuery is javascript. It does not "replace" javascript.

It is a library that makes some things very easy to express. There are many other javascript libraries, though jQuery is one of the best known.
