One issue, back in the day, was that you could only use Java programming language, right? At that time no one had thought of multi language jvm targetting with different originating languages... all java applets were java programming language coded, afaik... I could be wrong. Another issue with java applets is you had to make sure they were installed correctly, whereas javascript need not install. With webassembly I don't think there is a java system you have to install on the machine. Java applets required first downloading the JVM from Sun, right? It's been so long since I've seen a java craplet (that's the locker room talk name for it) that I cannot remember. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
