I came, I listened, I disagreed. I do agree that realistically the likelihood of an agreement on a byte- code standard is unlikely. I disagree with the assertion that JavaScripts innovation would be hugely constrained if a byte-code system was used. Using Flash as an example may be unfair given that I think Adobe is probably much less skilled with such things as byte- code and VMs compared to those working on the JVM and CLR.
Browsers are great at promising lots and grand ideas and statements with mediocre realities though in fairness so far a lot of this has been IE holding the browser world back (which hopefully may change in IE9). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
