"Note: Most of these suggestions only work for standalone applications rather than applets."
Whoa! That made me double-take. Applets have been an effectively abandoned technology (by the browser makers, not necessarily Sun,) for what, almost 10 years now? It's amazing this guy would feel the need to specify this.
Then again, had applets ever taken off... we might be coding client-side code in Lisp now, (or your favorite JVM language :)) Crazy.
- tomjen3 15y agoAll Danish online banks and all government services relies on a common login system which uses Java Applets. So no, they are most certainly not dead.
- gruseom 15y agoYou can code client-side in Lisp now (or your favorite JS-targeted language). I do it every day.

- gruseom 15y agoThat's true. You're not encapsulated from JS, so you have to be aware of JS issues like null-undefined-false-0 and all the rest of them. So it feels like you're writing in two languages at once. On the other hand, that has some benefits too.
