Java and the .NET Framework had partial trust/capabilities mechanisms decades ago. No one really used them and they were deprecated/removed.

- pjmlp 1y agoIt was more like no one used them correctly.
- eikenberry 1y agoWouldn't that mean they were poorly implemented. If no one uses something correctly, seems like that isn't a problem with the people but the thing.
- palata 1y agoI don't think so. Software is maybe the only "engineering" discipline where it is considered okay to use mainstream tools incorrectly and then blame the tools.
- dullcrisp 1y agoDo the “mainstream” tools change every five years in other disciplines?
- pjmlp 1y agoTo be fair they only change when chasing trends, consumers don't care how software is written, provided it does the job. Which goes both ways, it can be a Gtk+ application written in C, or Electron junk, as long as it works, they will use it.
- pjmlp 1y agoPartially yes, hence why they got removed, the official messaging being OS security primitives are a better way.
- lenkite 1y agoIt was not bad, but without memory/cpu isolates, it was pretty useless. The JSR for isolation got abandoned when Sun went belly up.
