Next is Java. Poor platform that should be native in all operating systems by default but it constantly needs to be updated.

We can dare to dreamNo chance.
The top three languages used on GitHub are JavaScript, Python, and Java.
Speaking of which, Python also constantly has new updates available. It just doesn't nag people the way Java does, and most people are running a ~10 year old version of it (2.7.something is quite popular, while 3.9 is available...)
In a sense, Flash was the first casualty of the transition to Apple Silicon, 13 years before the fact.Steve Jobs dumped Flash right before he announced the iPad. As usual Apple knows what's up years before things take action.
It's surprising, really, how long Flash - known to be a a substandard, poor performing piece of software, and reeking of security risks, could have managed to be as popular as it was and taken this long to actually go away. It caused a lot of damage during its tenure, that's for sure. Good riddance.
I actually came here to make a comment about missing HSR, but the sky brightens!Oh, wow, H★R lives on, using an HTML-based flash player called Ruffle! homestarrunner.com

HomeStarRunner was the only good use of Flash ever.Oh, wow, H★R lives on, using an HTML-based flash player called Ruffle! homestarrunner.com
Java is okay, if ridiculously verbose, on server hardware. It was a bad fit for client/server use, but trying to do that through a browser died off many years ago, as far as I know.Great! Now let's get rid of Java (ducks)
This is honestly a giant relief. I'm very glad that Flash is dead but I was worried about all the amazing art and creative content on the web that we were losing with Flash dying.Oh, wow, H★R lives on, using an HTML-based flash player called Ruffle! homestarrunner.com

He just told the truth about Flash and the world went bananas. Until everyone realised that it was the truth!Steve Jobs dumped Flash right before he announced the iPad. As usual Apple knows what's up years before things take action.
Agreed. Java is too central for Android development in particular for it to go away any time soon and it's a teaching language.No chance.

Which means that the flash block is actually dangerous because the only way to use those sites now this now is to install an OLDER version of flash from before they added the blocker that potentially doesn't have the latest security updates.
Im starting a crowdfunding campaign to keep Flash running and eventually port it to Apple Silicon, click here if you would like to take part. jk.
