Java is the best thing we have gotten since C in 1970.

That was 30 years ago. Since then everyone has been copying Java:

C#, WASM, Go, Rust... nothing even scratches the surface.

And it never was insecure, it was removed by the same people that leverages consume only devices and root certificates.

That said I'm actually a proponent of bringing back the MIDlet, J2ME was the best software platform ever created.

You misunderstand me. I think Java's great. Java applets were quite bloated. moreso than Electron. You can still make Java Applets if you want, but people have moved on.

Applets where bloated by programmers, my Applets where super lean.

No, I can't develop Applets, they are disabled in all browsers.
