The article conflates Java with just the browser plugin on windows.
The current state of Java on Windows and the browser plugin are clearly not acceptable, but Java is mostly used server side. All of Hadoop is written in Java. Most Apache projects are implemented in Java.
The JVM is used by other languages too (Closure, Scala, JavaScript, etc)
By all means kill the browser plugin, but please stop conflating it with Java.
- bicknellr 14y agonitpick: JavaScript doesn't run on the JVM (not considering Mozilla Rhino)
- linuxhansl 14y agoI was considering Rhino (not the best example I admit), and Nashorn (which looks to be a fine implementation on JS)
