I was told in school that Java applets were the future and they made us take a class that focused heavily on them. I did make a few games in applets, but they were always janky and I am glad they are dead.

    I had to remove the applet-based server architecture when moving java 11->17.

    The authors thought that it would be the right decision to accept code from users as applets

    That's both hilarious and scary. Scarlarious, if you will.

    Now comes the scariest part. We removed this in early 2024

    Applets were killed by Flash, which then became obsolete.

    Applets were killed before that due to repeated severe security issues and Sun fucking around and not making them good in my recollection. Flash was just easiest applets with no Java and died for much of the same reason a decade later.
