Silverlight?JavaScript seems to have something going for it that only Java before it had: a VM arms race involving all the major tech companies in the industry.The first 4-7 years of Java's life was punctuated by almost yearly (notable) performance jumps as Sun, IBM and BEA battled each other for the VM crown (Microsoft bowed out early after the lawsuit so I won't includ
