Eh, there is the canvas, and WebAsm. They make for a full blown VM if you don't mind shipping a several MB large interpreter with your page.

Next step should be installing the interpreter on the browser, for everybody to use... Then we can create Flash all over again.

(Now, if somebody gets a way to do that full VM thing in a way that is compatible with the DOM, then we'll have some improvement.)

That's ridiculous. Is Javascript "like flash" because most browsers ship a several MB interpreter for it?


Javascript creating random elements on the canvas? Yep, just like flash.
