What was a Java applet?

somewhere in Africa I'm getting a practical exam on this.

Interesting. Java applets are slightly before my time of technical awareness, but not entirely before my time of internet use, so from vague recollection I had thought that maybe Java applets were restricted to a single rectangle and perhaps that (incorrectly assumed?) restriction was why they failed. I really don't understand why needing external support would have been the real problem. It seems like Java availability was extremely widespread around the late 90s/early 2000s. I know there was even some hardware support for Java (wtf?) around that time. And if needing to download and install Java was really such a massive problem, then couldn't some arrangement have been made for OSes or browsers to just bundle Java? Everyone has loved to hate on JavaScript for as long as I can remember, _especially_ since there's no longer any alternative, so I'm really curious about why the actual alternatives that once existed (Java applets and Flash) have now gone totally extinct. But then again, maybe _any_ web or shell scripting languages are just destined to be hated. The awkward range of tasks they're meant to be used in means they're always going to be both too much _and_ too little.

Java applets were banned after security issues, or so it says in my textbook.

It was a bad experience for users and developers, no wonder it didn’t work.

chrome sucks Applets were deprecated due to security issues, not because they were replaced.

[@yesyes-om1po]

javascript is just applets but better

He was trying to focus the camera but never did. Either that or this is what 1080p looked like 5 years ago.
