I don't know, but if a JavaScript VM will succeed where native Java Applets/JavaFX failed, someone at Sun will not be getting a bonus that year.

Yes, I was aware of the acquisition by Oracle, but wasn't aware it was completely merged into Oracle, live and learn.

Actually, if Doppio generated JS instead of interpreting JVM bytecode, it could be quite fast.
