<h1>WebAssembly Applet</h1>
<p>I miss the old Java applets and Flash animations of the
mid-to-late 2000s. They're long dead by now; Over the years
it became increasingly obvious that giving servers the ability to
run arbitrary un-sandboxed programs on their clients was Very Bad.</p>
<p>So far, I haven't seen anything similar to applets for WebAssembly.
A relatively simple, standardised API for user input and graphics
would be cool for making little games and tools without needing
to spend time focusing on everything around the canvas.</p>
<h2>The Applet Demo Itself</h2>
<div id="applet">
<canvas width="64" height="64" tabindex="1">
<p>This toy needs a Gecko, WebKit, or Blink web browser
with Javascript enabled and support for WebAssembly
to function properly.</p>
