> Java has a very strong sandboxing and verification "story"
I disagree that it is very strong (I see java.security.Permission littered everywhere in the stdlib) and it definitely wasn't strong in the days of applets. Maybe in theory, but in practice access to such a large stdlib because it was desktop tech shoehorned onto the browser caused a great many issues.
