- stcredzero 13y agoIt works technically, but the main reason for using Javascript is that distribution and discovery is fantastic and requires no install. Java plugins have a bad reputation in terms of security and require an additional install. Using a Java plugin would take away any distribution and discovery advantage of the browser platform.

- jamesaguilar 13y agoI wouldn't say the fact is unpopular. What's unpopular -- or using two better words, wrong and stupid -- is the fallacy that because something was originally created for a certain purpose, it must be used for that purpose and only that purpose for the rest of eternity.
