A Java subset runs on almost every SIM card, credit card chip and Intel ME out there.

So no, it isn't closer to lua than Java.

It is available to anyone that can get their hands on pile of blank cards and the respective SDK.

Yes, but that is the definition of a nice.

Also I suspect that Java cards use a stripped down version of Java.

I explicitly said subset on my comment.

WASM on its current form also only allows for a stripped down version of many languages.
