...and you know what Flash did for the web when it came out?
Allowed us to watch videos, drag and drop, consume all kinds of media and have interactive applications on the web which were at the time totally unachievable with JavaScript.
Is the internet's memory so short that you've forgotten how recently we have largely switched to HTML5 video?
- douche 10y agoWe've just spent the last 10 years spinning to get back to where we were, because Steve Jobs vetoed Flash support. Before that, we bailed on similar capabilities from Java applets, and had to reimplement them. Doubtless there's multiple technologies before my time that gave us the same powers, but were abandoned because reasons.
