Correct. Comportex is written to run on the JVM (Clojure) or compile down to JavaScript (ClojureScript). Because Felix conveniently had HTM running in a web browser, it was "easy" for him to start attaching visualizations to it*. HTM on the JVM was faster, but HTM in the browser was seeable.
Eventually the browser was the main place to run Comportex, because the visual running environment was just so good. I brought this running environment to the JVM. I started with a hack <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPjNWEj_vHc> that dumped models into the browser, but later I changed ComportexViz to talk to an HTM server rather than crawling the HTM directly. Some time passed. I built stuff <http://mrcslws.com/gorilla/?path=hotgym.clj> with it. And now I swapped in a NuPIC server. So it's not exactly a "successor". The real story is: We have a way of running HTMs from the browser, and it can drive any HTM -- you just have to build a bridge to it. This video announced a new bridge. *This sentence is based on a true story.
