I really loved one part of early flash, because it was a streaming VM. Start executing code before even all the code has finished downloading. Brilliant for larger demos/animations and such. Also first render is very fast on slow connections.

Unfortunately no modern popular system does streaming code now. You CAN emulate it with JS by using very small separate <scripts> or manually executing the code in chunks. Code splitting and dyn modules sort of gets you part way there.
