Should I use Java or JavaScript?
Answer: Use JavaScript unless you have a compelling reason to use Java
-
PRO: JavaScript is lightweight, inexpensive, and consistent
-
CON: JavaScript has no good debugger
-
PRO: Ease of use vs. complete programming language
-
CON: Early adopters think as programmers and want Java
-
PRO: VRML designed for scene graph use by creatives, not just
programmers
"The scene graph is the application"
-
Don't assume a command structure of program driving rendering graph,
but the inverse!
