This will make it easy for a version of our library to be written in Java or some other language, should the need arise. Since this proposal was written, significant developments in web-browser technology have occurred. Specifically Java has exploded onto the scene. Until recently, Java also had the great advantage that programs written in it could be downloaded and run within modern web browser without the need for the use to install any special software.
