Somebody should write fanfic where jart goes back in time and forestalls the Java revolution in ~roughly 1995 by releasing Blink. Instead of the entire several decades of Java (and Javascript), Blink becomes the technology underlying web (the browser is really just a portable presentation layer) server and client programming. Lightweight phones with long battery life and portable architectures revolutionize mobile computing 5 years earlier. World GDP is 35% higher, and life is generally happier, and much easier.
(seriously though, thanks for doing all this. I like your philosophy compared to what the world ended up with as the dominant paradigm)
