[TriLUG] ajax presentation - why is javascript good, but java bad?

Why is javascript good, but java bad?

It seems like you could do something similar using using
plain old java ( like sending diff, instead of reloading whole
page). 

My java programming has been apps only ( like air traffic control
display for military) -- no applets.  Is it just that java within
a browser is bad?

Java would have to be faster than javascript, easier for
programmers to program.  I would expect the tools to
be better as well ( maybe not ).
