[E-Lang] E FAQ

[Karp, Alan]

We all know that there are problems with Java security, but some folks will
say that the flaws are fixable.  We don't want to get into a "he said, she
said".  

The flaws in Java security don't go to the essential point about E.  As I
see it, Java security was designed to enable safe use of downloaded code.  E
is designed to allow complex patterns of cooperation.  I think that is the
point to be made in the FAQ.  That way, no one is attacking Java.  All
that's being said is that Java and E were designed to address different
problems.  Implicit is the fact that E is solving the important problem.
