Most of all the problem with Java Applets was that they were very slow to load and required so many resources that the computer came to a halt.
They also took much longer to develop than whatever you could cook up in plain html and javascript.
- kaba0 2y agoFunnily enough, wasm also has the problem of “slow to load”. In that vein, a higher level bytecode would probably result in smaller files to transport. And before someone adds, the JVM also supports loading stuff in a streaming way - one just has to write a streaming class loader, and then the app can start immediately and later on load additional classes.
