Putting TADS games online with jetty?

There are probably a few examples of Jetty in use, but you’re right that it isn’t very popular. For good reason - Java is horrid.

Here’s where I show my total ignorance of the subject – what does Parchment run on? Javascript, I guess. What’s the difference?

Hmm:

The change of name from LiveScript to JavaScript roughly coincided with Netscape adding support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator web browser. The final choice of name caused confusion, giving the impression that the language was a spin-off of the Java programming language, and the choice has been characterized by many as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give JavaScript the cachet of what was then the hot new web-programming language.

Worked on me, I guess! Though perhaps not in the way they expected.
