I would think "archive.org mirror" means a mirror of [company]'s website on archive.org, not a mirror ''of'' archive.org.

:But a mirror of archive.org would be funny because a) it's essentially a mirror already and b) it would be absolutely enormous.

There actually was something called "MacromediaJava" (one word). Before Alchemy/FlasCC/CrossBridge, there was an earlier C-to-AS3 compiler meant to demonstrate how cool the AS3 runtime is. Someone managed to port enough of Kaffe and Classpath to it to build a replacement for the Java Plugin that ran applets in Kaffe under FlashPlayer instead of directly in Java. It didn't work on most applets, and was slow and glitchy, and it was never meant as more than a demonstration, and normally I'd say there's no way anyone would be referring to that in 2016… but given the theme of this comic, the XKCD stack may be the one place where it was used. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.255.82|162.158.255.82]] 23:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC) | There actually was something called "MacromediaJava" (one word).
