Java's actually a lot older than that, 1995 I believe. Though I'm not sure when Java applets became available in browsers (certainly before 2005). It's a sobering thought that whilst (in my opinion) Java applets were a very good idea, the implementation left much to be desired and it's going to take us more than 20 years to turn those ideas into a good workable solution (of which WebAssembly may be a part).
