So now game devs are forced to use JavaScript if they want to make games in the browser? That sucks.

Did anybody ever use Java applets for games? It's been a long time since I've seen a Java applet in the wild, and I can't remember any games.

Yes. My current employer though we switched new development to html years ago. Dunno why gp complained now, hopefully nobody is doing new applet development.

Emscripten allows for C++ to be used, and Flash is everywhere Java applets were and then some.
