Well, Java applets did die. What more do you want? The Java sandbox is only used by extremely legacy software at this point, so it doesn't matter if it has holes in it. Actually, the more holes the better, so we can get rid of the last holdouts.

Java is the most widely-used programming language in the world. Applets are an insignificantly tiny drop in the bucket of what Java is used for.

Java is consistently listed in the top three (and often #1) languages in current use.
