How were you expecting to stream video with javascript? Actually,
Flash is basically a language runtime based on ECMAScript with a
vector graphics, streaming video, and streaming audio interface. So,
you're not far from the mark, it's just that browsers (in general)
don't have built-in animated vector graphics, streaming video, and
streaming audio.
Flash fills a need that isn't supplied by browsers, it does it in a
reasonable way, but it, unfortunately, has a crappy Linux
implementation.
