Re: Pathetic, isn’t it … ?

The Javascript way seems to be to layer library upon library, downloaded from all over the net, with little concern for security (or licenses ...

...or efficiency, or speed of loading.

I have a feeling that Javascript will one day be seen to have been an even bigger security and usability problem than Java ever was. The design and implementation of the Java plugin environment in the browser has always been well short of ideal, but the language itself is far better than Javascript and given a well thought-out execution environment it could have been so much better than the ugly mess that we get with Javascript.
