AFAIR Java applets, and the JVM in general, were not better.
My experience with Smalltalk is from high school in the middle 90s, Java came out in 1996 and it was much slower than Smalltalk in my opinion.
Also JavaScript in the browser was basically a joke and a nightmare to write and debug.
Type safety is over-hyped IMO, JavaScript isn't type safe, look were it arrived.
Even C++ is partially type safe and Java type safety is unsound
