Discuss, don't bitch about "zomg use JavaScript" instead; that's as bad as all the half-assed shouting about rewriting MediaWiki in brainfuck.
Ok, Rob, you're now responsible for replacing the keyboard on my laptop.
You did illustrate a reasonable objection to the problem, but it was surrounded in a load of incoherent gibberish ranting.
Actually, he didn't.
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.
