not a lot of java's original goal succeeded, applet died, desktop died .. for some reason it matched well with enterprise in a time where heavy would sell in big companies
in a funny way, the jvm hitting android made it the networked desktop of the world, but in no way sun/oracle predicted it :)
- kaba0 4y agoWell, Sun did offer Java free of charge for everything except mobile (hence the infamous lawsuit), so it’s not like they didn’t think of that.
- PaulHoule 4y agoI find it kindof odd that the Blu-Ray disc adopted Java as a standard, that is, every Blu-Ray disk is really a big Java "applet" that runs on the player. Pretty frequently the "applet" is a stock player with a small amount of customization since Hollywood isn't any more interested in software development than TV station owners: that is, an interactive ATSC 3 TV channel is just a single page app that gets events from a websocket server embedded in the TV.
