What is "JA" ? You mean JavaScript?

What I do not understand is how would doing the whole GUI in
Javascript, running inside the browser, would be any better or
different than say using Java applets, which is also a GUIcode
running inside the browser.

Since the browser is the new 'OS' of the future in the minds of many,
then why would using Javascript be any better than using Java, if
the goal is to run things insider the browser? Java can run inside
the browser already.

At least Java is real language than can be compiled and I think
a better language to work with, than some scripting language to
build the future of computing on.

I run many Javascript demos on new HTML5 web sites, and I do not see
them any faster or better than using Java applets. some take time
to start, some are slow, etc... So, what is new? I see the
same same performance problems I saw in the early days of Java applets
but now are coming back when using Javascript to build so called
rich internet application.

Or may be I missing something?
