Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
After seeing all the web developers of the 90s dump on Java applets all the time, it's fascinating to see the same functionality being reimplemented piecemeal in Javascript.

- vidarh 13y agoWe dumped on Java applets because they ran isolated in rectangles on the window and took ages to start and then proceeded to slow our machines to a crawl, and most of what it was used for was mundane stuff that could be done without Java, or that we didn't want. The ultimate indictment of just how bad a fit java applets was is exactly that people shunned it despite the horrible alternatives.
