Being concise isn't always my strong point but to say in fewer words: Implementing Java on JavaScript is all good an well but the JavaScript platform has to also be able to support fundamental features that the Java (and other) platforms support otherwise you are just writing Java that gets turned into JavaScript but still lack the support for fundamental platform features needed to accomplish certain types of tasks.
I have long since wished that the browsers would use some kind of VM, frankly I would not care if it was a JVM, CLR LLVM or something else. I would be happy with whatever I could get. I see the problem being that no-one would agree on the VM. The backers of the most popular browsers tend to have very incompatible political agendas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
