Why JavaScript (Active Scripting, to MS folks) rather than straight Java?
Java would run faster for anything needed on the client side, and at least
has a security model. That could lead to more people being content to
run it. I know I refuse to run JavaScript in my browser, but could be
convinced to run Java in it for a good cause. Also, with Java, you can
make your stuff run as either an Applet in a browser, or as a standalone
Java application.
