Do you think it's also worrying that we all communicate in English? Is the English language a stagnated monoculture?

Pandering to language fanboys isn't a good idea. Javascript is a good enough language, and if you don't like it, write in something else and compile it to javascript.

There were some pretty good multi-user flash games around 1999/2000, when things were just getting going. I can't remember the names though at the moment.

It's only recently that graphics / audio / video / networking in javascript is almost as good as flash/java was 15 years ago!

Sometimes it's easy to think we're on the cutting edge. But we're really not.

> The scope of applications and interactivity found in today's browser-based apps today dwarfs what we were doing even 10 years ago.

I'd dispute that. 10 years ago we had pretty brilliant browser based apps. They just happened to be using flash or Java applets whereas now they're using javascript.
