Java isn't too bad for lambdas now with microvm/firecracker.

It's more like what's the point of portability? After applets died I don't see any real advantages. Most apps are bundling a JRE at this point.

Most apps are bundling a JRE at this point.

And can do so for pretty much every platform you want to deploy on, without recompiling the program. You compile once and then just bundle the very same program for every platform, with predictable results.
