If being "like java" was so important, then why didn't it just straight up lose to "actually java"? I don't think that JS+DOM beating flash/java has much to do

I don't think that JS+DOM beating flash/java has much to do at all with "gee, this looks superficially like java, but is different enough to trip me up in rather weird ways".
- davvolun 13y agoDon't conflate why Flash lost to why Java (in the browser) lost, there are very different reasons. For one thing, Java had failed as a browser plugin long before Flash did (as if we don't still see Flash in the browser...I wonder what our discussion would be if not for Apple?).
