- bobajeff 11y agoWell hopefully Adobe does this. No one else has really been able to make a full flash implementation. It probably won't be as fast though but for legacy Flash content that would be fine.

- al2o3cr 11y agoEven better, port the JVM and the applet infrastructure for maximum "remember the last time we did this exact thing" retro-lulz.

You cant port the entire applet infrastructure since WASM is limited to the same API as Javascript. If WASM doesn't support multithreading, languages targetting WASM wont.
- ant6n 11y agoYou can always support multi-threading by not doing multi-threading.
- daurnimator 11y agoBut it does support multithreading. Things missing are usually specific external protocols. e.g. being able to make a TCP socket; (or higher level things like ignoring CORS).
- mobiuscog 11y agoWhy bother with applets ? Just run 'native' Java apps.
