- coldtea 5y agoI guessed as much, but I don't think they're anything but niche in 2022. They're not in regular (e.g. VISA, Mastercard) chip-and-pin credit cards for example, are they?
- smcl 5y agoSo wikipedia says that it is, but honestly I am not an expert so let's just set that aside for argument's sake unless someone can definitively say one way or another. But it's definitely in SIM cards, which are indeed carried and used by billions daily
- kaba0 5y agoI think it is still Java in bank cards. Even Apple Pay implemented all their thingies in Java.
