Language for web game development

I've been making arcade-style flash/java games long enough I've started to make a living off of it, despite not knowing alot about what I'm actually doing coding-wise.
I've pretty much been using java the most to make games as it seems the more mature of the two and has tons more advantages over flash.
Now I'm thinking of starting a commercial online game but I'm wondering if there's any language better than java to do this.
Is there any better language that can be used to make games, compile them and embed them into a web-page(crucial)?

So that must be a joke.

Fucking idiots. Silverlight is new-ish. Its the .Net browser plugin. Its built on .Net, the platform that over 50% of businesses have been creating new solutions on for 6 years.

IT IS NOT WINDOWS ONLY faggots. MS built the Windows part. Novell built the Unix part, so yes that includes Linux and Mac. It is not IE only (obviously). And there are mobile versions.

NBC used it to stream the fucking Olymics and the conclusion was that is was a success.

It doesn't have the enourmous limiations of Flash. And its not anything like Adobe solution. Just install Flash, Shockwave, Air, Authorware and the other dozen plugins they have to their shit that doesn't work well. It is one unified platform with a strong library and multiple languages. Something Adobe could has never been able to do because they suck at everything except Photoshop.
