WebAssembly is the real write once deploy anywhere tech now. JVM had its turn and lost.

Embedded systems? Like sim cards? There's even real time Java, I think they used it for some missile guidance stuff aswell at some point
> Embedded systems? Like sim cards?
Serious question: I remember the old installer, six billion devices or whatever. I’ve heard about Java ME, old set-top boxes and DVD players, etc.
But how much of that is active today. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a job listing for an embedded Java developer or even Java ME in my entire career. Are people actually still using it?
Yeah I didn't mean it as praise for Java (SE, ME, or whatever), but I don't think you're better off finding embedded WebAssembly jobs
