This sounds more like server-rendered again if I understand this correctly? Is there actually a DOM-based AWT emulation for J2cl (GWT) or TeaVM that can be used to actually run old Applets purely in the browser?

Nice username :)

It looks like TeaVm is still setting steady releases? It’s certainly bucking industry trends, which concerns me about maintenance.

Yes, TeaVM is still actively maintained by the original author (and contributors). Java 17 record support was recently implemented, for example.

TeaVM is coming up on 10 years, so it has proven its longevity.
