  I don't know, but if a JavaScript VM will succeed where native Java Applets/JavaFX failed, someone at Sun will not be getting a bonus that year.

    hate to break it to you, but Sun hasn't existed as a company since early 2010...

      RIP OpenSolaris. You are in a better place now.

        I wouldn't really call Oracle a better place...

          I was thinking of the Illumos fork, and where key developers ended up (Joyent, Nexenta, OmniTI, etc)

      Yes, I was aware of the acquisition by Oracle, but wasn't aware it was completely merged into Oracle, live and learn.

  I doubt it, straight Java is much faster than converting Java to Javascript and then executing it, even with JIT.

    Actually, if Doppio generated JS instead of interpreting JVM bytecode, it could be quite fast.

  In current form no (Looking at demo and quick snap shot of whats in there) but might happen in future.
