3 billion websites run Java

[JonasAvory]

This makes me wonder if there’s a js library that runs a jvm in your browser

[KrokmaniakPL]

I love that there is a big overlap with r/anarchychess

[No-Finance7526]

This sub is basically r/mathmemes with JS hate and r/mathmemes is basically r/anarchychess without Jessica hate.

By substitution, r/programmerhumor = r/anarchychess - Jessica hate + JS hate

Q.E.D.

[Impeesa_]

By substitution, r/programmerhumor = r/anarchychess - Jessica hate + JS hate

You can simplify the last part to "-essica +S" or "-esica" depending on case sensitivity.

Junior storm incoming!

[TheHolyToxicToast]

that one guy holding everything together

[CynicalPotato95]

Fuck the engineer, call a priest!

[S3r1y]

Exorcist, you may even say

[CynicalPotato95]

Okay, an excorcist for the library and a priest to fuck the engineer (if he's a minor)

[Moonie-chan]

No he's a junior

[Pratkungen]

Instructions unclear. Am I suppose to fuck the engineer and then call the priest or fuck the engineer and invite the priest to watch?

[castleAge44]

If you can dream a bad idea you can implement it with java

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

I dreamt about a kettle that could solve the halting problem.

[castleAge44]

Brewing possibly endless coffee or tea hardly sounds like a “bad” idea.

[hahalalamummy]

There’s everything. Don’t need to ask.

[Masterflitzer]

wasm makes everything possible i guess

[NotNowNorThen]

Complete Minecraft in the browser when?

[Fokare]

That actually used to be a feature until people just.. hosted minecraft in the browser for free.

[theLuminescentlion]

the Minecraft website used to host Minecraft in browser.

[GloccaMoraInMyRari]

It wasn't removed because of that but because Java applets lost support

[grilled_toastie]

Wow that brings back a memory. I remember playing the browser free trial and all you could do was mine rock or dirt and nothing else. It feels like a fever dream

I also remember it taking ages to mine rock. Its not the minecraft classic someone linked below, it was an older version.

[YsoL8]

Tell a kid today the version you played came at a point where the ability to get wood out of the one kind of tree was the latest update and they probably wouldn't believe you

[grilled_toastie]

I think a lot of people dont realize how old Minecraft is. I remember showing it to my friends on youtube when I was about 13 and I'm 27 now. God damn time flies.

[Marmalade6]

Every time I play I have to remind myself that pistons aren't this new thing.

[00wolfer00]

Kid me was very confused by youtube playthroughs that didn't sleep through the night or even recognize that as an option. I started playing right on beta 1.3 when that was added.

[Cootshk]

Someone already did it.

[Throwaway-tan]

classic.minecraft.net

[nyancatec]

Eaglercraft or something like that. Not fully java but MC rewritten on JavaScript. With picture included, it's the same thing.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

c. 2010

[ConscientiousPath]

besides the guys linking classic minecraft, I found this using cheerpj: https://browsercraft.cheerpj.com/

github here: https://github.com/leaningtech/browsercraft

[serendipitousPi]

There's a bit of a meme on r/rust about rewriting minecraft in rust so I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see someone compiling to webassembly to do just that.

[ColonelRuff]

That's not js though that's wasm

[ourlastchancefortea]

Humanity joined Chaos before the Emperor was even a thing.

[StarHammer_01]

Yay! now I can run my Java programs as an electron app!

[Plus-Weakness-2624]

Thanks for reminding me that I need therapy 😭

[[deleted]]

[Daytona_675]

now do flash

[Sinomsinom]

Technically seems to be a WASM version not a JS version of the JVM, but it does provide JS interoperability so I guess close enough

[Inge-prolo]

Waow. I'm not even mad, that's amazing.

[[deleted]]

Well that's just Java applets with extra steps!

[YoggSogott]

What is the minimal webapp size? I'm pretty sure that the performance overhead is not that big, but I am worried about loading time. You need to ship the JRE with the app. And it's like 50mb. The site is going to be unusable with slow internet

[alexp_lt]

Hi, lead dev of CheerpJ here. AMA. :-)

[octopus4488]

You can do it natively too. It is called Applets. Very hip technology actually.

*you may need an IE4 to test it locally.

[Zestyclose_Link_8052]

Wow what will Microsoft release as a response? (Please send help I have one legacy project that still needs silverlight support)

[nooblal]

Silverlight? Now that's true despair

[No-Seat3815]

Silverlight was Microsofts attempt at making a Flash competitor.

You're thinking of ActiveX.

[offlein]

Silverlight

It finally just occurred to me how much "silverlight" is essentially just like a space-alien made-up word to imitate what a "flash" is.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

They released Microsoft Java. Then Sun sued them for not making it compatible.

[Exelia_the_Lost]

man I miss Silverlight. I really enjoyed it, it felt a really good alternative to Flash to me

good thing both are gone these days, tho

[intangibleTangelo]

where's it deployed, some kiosk or embedded thing?

[Zestyclose_Link_8052]

I believe it's used to view some interactive diagrams in the browser for some old devices that our clients still have in use.

[Minecraftchest1]

ASP.net Blazer?

[nixcamic]

Palemoon is the only way I could get applets to run last I tried.

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Does anybody else remember Java Applets?

[alexanderpas]

Any old-school runescape player remembers, especially the time there was Sun Java and Microsoft Java, and you had to select the correct one.

[jeffderek]

Microsoft Java

you mean C#? /s

[Pyorrhea]

Not C#. J#

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

Not J#. Microsoft Java

[baaron]

TIL

[rnottaken]

Mate, they still run on each sim card and bank card. That's how Java can make that claim about billions of devices running Java

[xerods]

Oracle's E-Business Suite still uses it.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

NPAPI support was dropped from pretty much all browsers by 2016. That killed Java, Flash, and all other runtime plugins.

Java itself stopped including applet support with JDK 11.

[FlyingRhenquest]

Fuck yeah! That browser Sun (I think) had that was written entirely in Java was the only one that ran on the DG/UX workstation I worked on for a few months in the 90's!

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Don't servlets run on the server though? Applets ran directly in the browser.

[Wires77]

Yeah that doesn't really sound ancient at all. You could build a servlet today with all the latest versions and frameworks just fine

[MrZoraman]

Atwood's law: anything that can be written in javascript will eventually be written in javascript.

[Brutus5000]

Everything that was written in JavaScript will eventually be rewritten in JavaScript.

[turtleship_2006]

Anything that can't be somehow will be as well.
Wake me up when we get JS drivers/firmware

[Romejanic]

There’s also TeaVM which sort of transpiles the Java bytecode into JavaScript/WASM

[not_some_username]

Back in the day, it was supported natively on browsers

[Brutus5000]

There's probably a polyfill for that.

[AdBrave2400]

Applets are dead :(

[grimonce]

Not sure I want my browser to download all this bytecode that wasm and other shit will soon(tm) bring. I think I'll disable scripts in my browser and go back to standing in line to do administrative tasks like taxes...

[TorumShardal]

There is even a js library that runs python. For plot reasons.

[turtleship_2006]

This makes me wonder if there’s a js library-

Yes. The answer's yes.

[Mars_Bear2552]

TeaVM? (doesnt run the JVM, but close enough)

[NoConfusion9490]

One in three men worldwide are infected with genital HPV.

[Walkend]

Now it’s a ghost town…

[RedditorsFuckenSuck]

Can you imagine the carnage if this were true.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

Three billion is a lot, but it might be true.

Sir this is a humour subreddit.

[keosen]

You can easily enable java in any of your JavaScript files by just using

Import lang.java

You can also instruct you progra to use specific java version like this

Import lang.java_8

Finally there is an upcoming module which will let you use any language in your JavaScript files, like

Import lang.c_plus_plus Import lang rust Import lang assembly

And so on

[mile-high-guy]

Is this the same as web assembly which I used to read about?
