When I hear Java for browsers then my stomach automatically turns around. Java as a language is neat but Java as a runtime has always been awkward so far.

What is the current browser plugin penetration for Unity? The only info I can find is this article (over a year old) which puts it around 1%: http://blogs.unity3d.com/2008/03/31/thoughts-on-browser-plugin-penetration/ mike chambers @marco

The declarative syntax (for example the named params structure) should be brought to ActionScript. The lack of proper IDE is a shame though. And where's Unity 3D? It is by far more powerfull then either Flash or Silverlight. Everytime i compare the horrible, jittery and sloooow Flash 3D engines to Unity's smooth and fast rendering my brain hurts. Of course none of our clients let us use it, their customers cant install it and most end-user computers are too slow for fancy stuff anyway, but on my gaming rig it works perfectly.

Are you serious? The Java browser PlugIn is the most sucking invention ever made! I don't even have it installed because it sucks so much. It would be better if Unity3D is brought in here instead.
