Gosling on Flash
Gosling on Flash: James Gosling of Sun is quoted in an interview: "If you look at something like Flash, when you get to the much more advanced stuff -- richer interfaces, more complex network protocols, more complex APIs -- it really falls short." If there's a particular network protocol you need, then please let the Player team know. If you think you can do something better, then please ship it. (A followup question, "How will JavaFX be positioned with regard to Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe AIR?", fails to distinguish between in-the-browser and beyond-the-browser runtimes.)
