Re: UIDL: User Interface Description Language.

Because JavaScript is an interpreted language and is therefore better suited
to the purpose of a browser (i.e. dynamically loaded pages). In addition,
the ability to browser the source of the pages (as per HTML) facilitates
information transfer.

thanks to the ability to natively instantiate complex UI components within
the browser and the ability to transparently present server based objects
via their JavaScript proxies.

Why would not use Java on the client rather than JavaScript?
