Look at their age. We've arrived in a world were young developers rediscover old tools and missed the time when Sun Microsystems brute forced Java down the throat of everyone.
Heck, here were native Java CPUs, Java Smartcards and different editions like JavaME for what today is branded IoT devices.
I cannot get the "write once - run everywhere"-slogan out of my head to this day. I don't even want to imagine a world where Java Applets actually "won" the internet and we would have proprietary multimedia applets instead of <audio> and <video> tags or even just CSS...
