I don't want that. WWW is not intended for that.

If you want that, there's been Flash and Java applets at least allowing whatever you'd like.

That was the correct way to put cross-platform applications into webpages.

Don't tell me about security problems in those, these are present in any piece of software and fixed with new versions, just like with the browser itself.

Okay, then links awaits you. I'd rather use something that enables powerful in-browser web applications while not relying on a host of proprietary bug ridden plugins.

This is utter bullshit.

Obfuscated JS is not any less proprietary or bug-ridden than Java bytecode.
