You've not understood....
Java has nothing to do with JavaScript.
(nothing, zero, zilch, etc... etc...)<g>
Java is a programming language.
(__________^^^^^^^^^^^_________)
It is used for writing and running full-fledged run-on-their-own programs.
Running Java programs requires that the Java VM (virtual Machine) be installed
on the HDD.
Java is already available for *many* OSs.
JavaScript is a scripting language.
(_______________^^^^^^^^^_________)
It is used to control what happens within Web browsers which are capable
of interpreting this scripting.
Interpreting of JavaScript requires a JS capable browser.
JS capability might (someday), be available in Arachne.
IMO,
Probably in the Linux version first.
Followed soon after with it's addition into the DOS version.
