Your real choices are Java[3] and Flash.
Nonsense. You can do whatever you like in JS.

Unless you're in a time-warp, developing games out of Ahl's Basic
Computer Games[1], Javascript is not going to cut it. Javascript
isn't even usable for graphics/real-time games of that era. At
least, when I've googled Javascript games, I've never found one
that could do a decent Space Invaders[2].
Your real choices are Java[3] and Flash. And some people won't do
Java while others won't do Flash. (But then, some people turn off
Javascript). If you're not absolutely opposed to downloads, Squeak
would work pretty well and I've seen a TCL plug-in that's kind of
cool. Also Silverlight is allegedly coming, though it's in pre-pre-
pre-Alpha (so Microsoft is at the "it'll do everything our
competitor's products will do and more" phase, soon to be replaced
by the "you'll use it and like it OR ELSE" phase).
It's actually a pretty dismal situation.

This is the best one I've seen, and it's notable for actually
=working=, and it has a whole bunch of caveats based on browser.

the Java language anymore.
