A few years ago I found the Orto javascript runtime impressive. Seems more complete than BicaVM. http://ejohn.org/blog/running-java-in-javascript/ http://ejohn.org/blog/running-java-in-javascript/ Edit: Seems to be missing from the web. I'm pushing my local copy to github: https://github.com/robterrell/orto https://github.com/robterrell/orto

That github page says: "Nothing to see here yet. Move along." Are you sure you really uploaded it?

  I trusted the damn GitHub desktop app to do the work... and it's still spinning in that window. Damn GUIs. I've now committed it from the console.

The license file is gibberish It clearly says that Orto is free for non-commercial use, but otherwise you need to contact them for permission. For all practical purposes, though, I think it's safe to consider it effectively public domain at this point.

  If you have a readable copy of the license, please send a pull request. The copy I have is high-ascii garbage.

    No, it's Japanese. I've never heard of Orto before but I can read the licence off your Github repo. https://github.com/robterrell/orto/blob/master/docs/license.txt https://github.com/robterrell/orto/blob/master/docs/license....

    I've made a rough translation of the license. As mentioned it's in Japanese. It's also kind of confusing. I'll send a pull request when I'm back at my desktop. (EDIT: Though of course, redistribution seems to break the condition at line #6). 1 Orto SDK is Free Software. 2 Copyright Kobayashi Yuu 3 4 Use and publication of applications produced by using Orto SDK 5 are free for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. 6 For other uses of Orto SDK, or for redistribution of the Orto SDK, 7 please contact support@orto.jp beforehand. 8 9 Due to lack of contract with Sun Microsystems, 10 Orto is Java-style but it is not Java. Orto is an independent language. 11 Java is a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems 12 13 The author is not responsible for any damages which may occur through use of Orto SDK 14 Furthermore, reverse engineering of Ordo SDK is prohibited.
