It doesn't resemble JS. It's a JVM/Java subset. You can even write apps using the Java Servlet API with JC 3.x

- mavhc 5y agoThat's what I said, it's so limited compared to Java that saying SIM cards run "a thing like Java" is massively overstating it. It doesn't even have floats. It's a UICC not a SIM card anyway.
- lxgr 5y agoThat's only on JavaCard 3 connected, though – which is dead: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9546812/javacard-3-in-real-world https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9546812/javacard-3-in-re... But I agree – Java to JavaScript is not the best comparison. Maybe a better one would be C programs written for a Unix system vs. C on a microcontroller: Same language; vastly different instruction set, OS and hardware capabilities and APIs available. Unlike C on microcontrollers, Java Card applications are hardware and OS agnostic, though!
