Hi,
I've never been a fan of Java or JavaScript. Games are becoming a lot
more possible with JavaScript, I acknowledge that, but I still find it
rather slow and clunky. The new Beatstar, for instance, crashed three
times during installation alone. Then when I finally got it actually
running it seemed a little less responsive than the older version. I
can't really compare other JS based games since there's no desktop
equivalent, but they don't seem as smooth as what I'm used to. Same with
the new Skype. The only thing I can think of is that my system's on its
way out...Maybe I'll have to try it on a newer system. Welcome to a
catch22, back to the dreaded Win10 scenario! I thought I was pretty good
with technology at one point but I think I'll soon have to admit that
it's going way too fast even for me.
Cheers,
Damien.

Hello,
I think you are wrong with JavaScript.
5 years ago or even only 3, I would have said that you were right.
However, in the last few years, JavaScript has enormously improved.
Async and promise-based programming, the strong tendance to
uniformization across browsers (if you exclude IE), new HTML5 API (for
audio, movement sensors and more),... all that make JavaScript much more
enjoyable and powerful.
The clinky JavaScript is the one of the early 2000s. Nowadays it's gone.
Sadly, the legendary supoosed clinkiness of JavaScript will still stay a
long time in mind, as the supposed slowness of Java.
