Java applets were deprecated by > Java 9 in 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet The above is also a reason why I had to give up formerly Jekejeke Prolog which was based on Java. But I didn't give it up immediately in 2017, there was like a grace period until 2021, where I also did experiments with CheerpJ. Somehow the Corona Pandemic gave me time to rethink applets and invent the idea of Dogelog Player. Dogelog Player wasn't realized for Python, its very first implementation was JavaScript only. The other platform followed out of curiosity and since the Dogelog Player architecture allows easily adding backends, without changing much of the libraries. That async/await will be important, I saw already when using CheerpJ. But CheerpJ doesn't offer the small footprint, that Dogelog Player Novacore now offers. Even if I would reduce formerly Jekejeke Prolog, I would be still bugged by the CheerpJ load. Novacore on the other hand is a ISO core subset, that is optimized to be small. Bye P.S.: But please don't tell the morons from ISPsystem who are now paying for jekejeke.ch domain, some hosting and CDN, that applets don't work anymore. They should find out by themselves.
