- tabtab 4y agoIt probably could have been fixed, but HTML browsers kept a step ahead in progress. Java applets lost the improvement pace race, but the applet concept has merit because it was designed for GUI's, unlike HTML. If applets had better up-front security, better version management and auto-updates (like current browsers do), and better download-modularity such that one didn't have to download the entire app to open one screen, for example. Oracle buying it didn't help, as they have a reputation for suing everything that moves.
