That's only on JavaCard 3 connected, though – which is dead: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9546812/javacard-3-in-re...

But I agree – Java to JavaScript is not the best comparison. Maybe a better one would be C programs written for a Unix system vs. C on a microcontroller: Same language; vastly different instruction set, OS and hardware capabilities and APIs available.

Unlike C on microcontrollers, Java Card applications are hardware and OS agnostic, though!
