SCSK's Curl team disabled my local PC applets.
How? By expiring the runtime engine for their Andoid development CAEDE beta IDE.
So I reinstall the old 8.0 runtime Surge® engine.
Nope. No applet will run under that 8.0.0 browser plugin until the NON-browser 8.0.1 IDE is uninstalled ( a separate selectable/optional step in the uninstaller itself !! )
My Smalltalk vendor did something like this back in the big merger that killed Smalltalk (it was years before I was willing to buy another professional Smalltalk IDE license.)
Now Instantiations owns the VA code and Pharo may get onto Android devices. And there is the Mobl language - and Red may replace Rebol.
In its day, Borland could be outrageous as could IBM and Microsoft and Oracle. But we are now in the post-Java manager-gotta-buzzword era - are we not? Don't managers now talk about "open-source methodology" as if that meant something? JavaScript is no longer a bad ECMA joke?
But here I am - hung out to dry again by a language vendor.
Challenge: name one web app framework that generates non-HTML markup such as Curl without significant revisions which break updates. No, it is not yet Seaside 3.0.x - that future must wait a little longer.
Remember when XHTML was declared by committee to be the future of web markup? Ahem. How long can it take me to start calling HTML5 simply 'HTML' ? By 2014?
At least I never fell for Google Gears ... just DBX, Nuon, OS/2 SOM/DSOM, Rebol 3 ...
