What's the status of J2ME? It still seems to exist although I can't find any evidence of it being updated in the last 10 years. When it came out, I was expecting it or a close derivative to end up being pushed as a browser technology as well. It seems like it would have been much better suited to it than Applets ever were.

I always think that J2ME is practically stuck since most of BlackBerry users (which are J2ME-powered devices) switch to Android.

Turns out I'm wrong. It seems that Java ME is still being updated: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/javame/embe...

Most J2ME people learnt Android's "Java" seamlessly.
