We could discuss the fact that the nicest games are made in flash.

I'd have to disagree, the nicest web games are made in Java(or webgl or unity etc.). Trying recreating runescape in flash.

But yea I get your point, it's surprising that js is still not that popular for making browser games.

Are you talking Java or javascript?

I don't know if its that surprising that js isn't more popular. Html5 hasn't been supported by browsers for nearly as long. I've done the Udacity html5 game course and worked with flash a bit, and the tooling for Flash makes it easier / faster to build apps/games.

Is the loading of assets in Javascript still an issue?

I'm talking about java, runescape is written in java not javascript.
