Sorry for being disorganized. The big problem I see with this is that Javascript isn't that well standardized across browsers, especially because they have to support all sorts of cruft from the early days. So it'll be hard to put Java on top. Javascript is also a lot slower than Java but becoming faster fast. Java in it's early days was also slow (and became faster), but both the language and the VM were specified a lot tighter than Javascript is now. Maybe the next ECMAscript version will help there? From what I remember, Microsoft blocked big advances the last time around (much to the chagrin of Adobe which based it's Actionscript language on earlier drafts of ECMAscript that then never came to be). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
