Chrome now blocks Java by default.

Chrome now blocks Java by default.  Sad, but a good thing, given all security problems, slow startup, complicated browser interaction.

try {
  return new Java();
} catch (InHandsOfShittyCompanyException e) {
  switch (e.getAlternatives()) {
    case JAVASCRIPT:
    case PYTHON:
      noPleaseGiveMeThreads(); break;
    case HASKELL:
      yeahMakeMeBananas(); break;
    case CPP0X:
      whatDaHellishMess(); break;
    default:
      experimentWith(GOLANGUAGE);
  }
} finally {
  return new Java() {
    public void init() {
      findEnterpriseNiche();
      becomeNewCobol();
      liveHappilyEverAfter();
  }};
}
