Well, I'm in general a fan of java, done many projects - but I'm more
and more convinced that a huge java applet is not the best way for any
webbased project. There are two things to consider: 1. it is much
heavier, concerning load time/memory and so on. it depends on
installing java, that's not default on win32! and 2. on the javascript
side, in the future a lot will change when there are good JIT
compilers. this could make js-code possibly ~10-100x faster!
