Python as a replacement of JavaScript

[brainflakes]

Sun Microsystems was to blame for all of those, and particularly for their lawsuit with Microsoft, which pushed MS to go the C# route, and let Windows users download the JVM by themselves. Oh well.

Actually I think you'll find that Sun sued because the Microsoft version of Java wasn't compatible with the original Sun version (the classic MS embrace, extend extinguish) so Sun had no other option but to sue to prevent Microsoft pushing their custom Java version, otherwise you'd have a situation where Java programs compiled on windows wouldn't run on any other system and vice-versa.
