We already tried JVM in browsers, remember java applets? I sure remember the security and compatibility problems :)
Actually, we didn't really try JVM in the browser. We tried it as a plug-in like Flash. The JVM didn't have access to the DOM like Javascript and WASM will have.
- pjmlp 7y agoActually it did.
- protomyth 7y agoWhich browser gave the JVM the same access as Javascript because it sure wasn't Netscape.
- pjmlp 7y agoAll of them, given the right access permissions. Better read the documentation? https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/manipulatingDOMFromApplet.html https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/ma...
- protomyth 7y agogiven the right access permissions. So, none of them out-of-the-box like Javascript. Given, it didn't really work as far out as 2005[1] which is 10 years after Javascript was introduced, I stand by my original statement. 1) https://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t16762.html https://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t16762.html
