Servo exists, in Rust. I don't know of any browser engine in C#/Java?

Also, modern browsers as a whole outsize entire OSes (sans browser)...

A famous one is HotJava. According to Wikipedia, it was also the first web browser to support Java applets.

"Final release: Late 2004; 20 years ago"

I guess I should've specified "not completely and utterly dead"? ;D

(Also, the size and complexity of a browser at that point in time was arguably still a whole lot less than a modern one)
