Parent article: Two approaches to Flash

It appears that Flash has become what Java applets should/could have been. What choices are there for client programming in the browser today ?

Java starts up way to slow and nobody has it installed anyway.

JavaScript - namely the browser interfaces for it - is a horrible ugly mess that can never be fixed.

Flash is the only reasonable alternative. I hope that it has rigidly defined interfaces and functionality. Lightweight Java, so to speak.
