lol, good one ExDeathEvn. But yeah, JS definitely isn't Java.
YeOldeToasT hasn't been paying attention to news on the web at all... Fact is, JS is getting like 10 times faster than it ever was, and improving. There have been several little impressive applications written with modern web techniques as shown on Slashdot and other major news sites, like this little video showing a pair of hands in which you can then put an image, video, text etc.
Look around for nice HTML5 and modern JS demonstrations yourself. There are a few nice things, and games have finally become a feasible thing to do in browsers without needing anything extras.
Btw, you already defeated your entire point by mentioning the DHTML Lemmings game... and the funny thing is, that's actually quite old so it's even more impressive for its time. Imagine what we can do with the web now!
