Great! Now let's get rid of Java (ducks)
True, and many (all?) of those decisions were criticized at the time.yep, Apple always sees ahead of time...look at flash, at floppy disk, optical drive, no headphone jack, no charger and soon no ports....the world will follow Apple
Yep! Same thing Apple always has to go through with being first to take the risk. People love to trash Apple then they start seeing other companies doing it. Kinda like how Apple haters trashed them for removing the headphone jack from the iPhone, then Samsung jumped on the hate wagon with multiple ads mocking Apple about it. Then the following year Samsung introduces a new Galaxy phone with the headphone jack gone and NOBODY trashes Samsung over it. It's a pity that people still trash Apple about it. I applaud Apple for taking risks that other companies are too cowardly to do....until Apple does it.He just told the truth about Flash and the world went bananas. Until everyone realised that it was the truth!
Well that answers my question of, "is someone going to make a Flash emulator." That seems like the best compromise if it'll work reliably.Oh, wow, H★R lives on, using an HTML-based flash player called Ruffle! homestarrunner.com

Almost nobody uses Java on PCs anymore. On servers and Android phones, it's very alive and will not go away.Next is Java. Poor platform that should be native in all operating systems by default but it constantly needs to be updated.
Yep. I always keep some non-updated stuff around just in case. They also underestimate how many computers there are whose owners never update anything.meanwhile, big corporations like IKEA are still betting on flash:
Want to plan your PAX wardrobe? You'll need flash.
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.

Well thats put pay to all the online free games that use flash that are out there.
Ya..... what a shame... I liked those web based games. People will be caught up in. Developers will use the old saying as well "We can't update due to our ancient 20 year old OS/hardware"
Java in the browser is dead, but there’s still Java programs you can download from the web and run.Agreed. Java is too central for Android development in particular for it to go away any time soon and it's a teaching language.
I personally don't care what language people use, and neither should you. So long as the development/product team provides a good native experience. We can rag on Electron, ReactNative, or Java apps that should use native frameworks all we want but end of the day it's not the development tool's fault if the experience sucks. The reason apps built on these frameworks suck most of the time is because they get the product around 80% of the way towards native, and a lot of teams stop there rather than putting in the effort required for the remaining 20%. It's entirely the company/development/product teams who chose not to take the extra steps to provide a thoroughly native UI/UX experience. We're seeing the same thing happen with Catalyst apps today as well.
That said, I haven't seen anything using Java in the browser in a very, very long time. Is that even supported at all anymore? I feel like it was killed off.
