why did javascript beat java?

both were put into the browser. java was way faster, had a consistent implementation, better graphics, and a real class system.

javascript is an elegant, well-designed, consistent, obscenely powerful language unmatched by any other

it's blazing performance and frugal memory usage contribute to its innovative status as the language of the future

asserting any dominance of java over javascript is unfair and is detrimental to the advancement of computer science. it would be equivalent of performing a cleveland steamer on jesus himself!
