You KNOW they are not?
Personally, I was hoping that netscape had put a layer on top of java, to
create their own "java for idiots" language, that is a cross between java,
perl, and logo. It would then have hooks to call plugins.
The plugins would presumably be standalong C-compiled things. Although if
they are being nice, plugins should also be ALLOWED to be java code as well.
Access to plugins could be done through some security module, like file and
host access is handled with hotjava.
