If Chrome will include a Dart VM, will other browsers follow? If other browsers follow, how long until we finally have to stop taking the abortion that is javascript into account? (http://try-dart-lang.appspot.com/)
I wish they'd just standardize a Bytecode-VM like LLVM, Java, whatever. Then everybody could code in whatever language they want and compile it to common object code, instead of cooking up plugin after plugin for the ill though out flavor of the month lang.
If X will include a Y VM, will other browsers follow? If other browsers follow, how long until we finally have to stop taking the abortion that is dart into account? (http://try-x-lang.appspot.com/)

IE: no. reason: MSFT hates GOOG
FF: no. reason: The Eich loves his javascript and will not willingly let another usurp it.
>>3 is the only reasonable thing to do, except designing the perfect WebVM is non-trivial.

This should be done. In fact, this is an idea I've been working on personally for a while, and j have just under a kloc of concept source code. But that's not enough, it needs to be standardized and every feature and aspect of its behaviour must be agreed upon by 100% of the group working on it.

God damnit Google, all your languages are nothing that's not already out there. Imperative, oo, Java/c++ clones with benefits. I sincerely expected more.

Have you seen the new Safari cookie format? It's truely the most brain damaged thing I've ever seen in my entire life. The cookie format has *both* little endian and big endian.

Google are pretty dumb if they think someone are going to implement their inventions elsewhere.
Opera: maybe
Why bother, when Google will somehow make it go ``Your browser is Opera, even though it works we disable the functionality, also download Chrome...''

Google search is nice but it's power is starting to go to their heads and they're doing too much.

Google is the Yamakan of computing.
``I'm here to save computing!'', then we've got infinite problems.

If IE 3.0 will include a VBScript interpreter, will other browsers follow? If other browsers follow, how long until we finally have to stop taking the abortion that is javascript into account?
15 years later...no other browsers support VBScript unless they use IE's rendering engine.
