Some thoughts:

- Writing crypto systems in dynamic languages is hard/impossible

- There is a need for browser based crypto

- The browser manufacturers are moving too slowly in this regard



Writing crypto in dynamic languages is hard but not impossible. Writing crypto in dynamic languages with content-controlled code is probably impossible.


There is a need for browser based crypto

I would love to see reasonably secure browser based crypto. You could submit things to a website without the website being able to see what they are.

Imagine a social network that was opaque to the people hosting the social network.
