{ Java built institutional infrastructure. Its achievement is real and load-bearing. But JavaScript's achievement is stranger: it became necessary without deserving to. No one chose JavaScript; history chose it for us through the browser. It carries historical accidents like structural load. Yet it adapted. It evolved. It scaled to server-side, to frameworks, to ecosystems Java could not reach. JavaScript is inescapable; Java is chosen. Inevitability is a deeper constraint than choice. }
