- BHSPitMonkey 10y agoThe main reason is not present in this implementation, which is that clients could execute arbitrary lower-level code in a separate process which the browser was powerless to make secure.
- jvilk 10y agoYes, there is a good reason: Security exploits! Fortunately, Doppio requires no plugins, and is written in 100% JavaScript. Crisis averted! Also, more languages than just Java run on the JVM; Doppio can run Scala, Clojure, and other JVM languages.
