Ok, excuse that mail.
Jay R. Ashworth:
Because the problem is *not* "shouldn't some
things which are now
written in Java be written in JS, etc, instead?", it's "There are
indisputably useful things which can *only* be written in Java for the
deployment environment being discussed", and he didn't solve that worth
a damn, alas.
I wasn't trying to prove it. It should be addressed by Andreas, who wants
them.
I pointed the example didn't need Java at all, but Rob opined it was a
trivial
implementation (Andreas probably disagreed). I agree it doesn't probe, but
i'm not
pushing for java :-) They do exist, can some of them be needed on a wmf
project?
Don't know. Show me one to decide ;-) Or maybe it could be done in both but
it's coded 200% faster in java, who knows...
