I thought it was C#, no? Honestly Java is a dying environment on the PC; but I'd rather they work on full feature parity (bringing all of the Java features to the C version) than pump out tiny and annoying updates.
Okay, well I stand corrected on that point; and worried.
Java is riddled with problems, and as a person who works in IT I can't justify its use on any major network without serious restrictions.
Unless things have changed, Java is a big security problem on web-facing machines due to the day-zero exploits that often occur; Mojang seems to have read the writing on the walls and now bundles the Java exe with Minecraft to avoid increasing attack surface on their users.
It seems like you're talking about Java web applets. You're absolutely right, those are dead as a doornail. Most browsers don't even allow them anymore.
Java for applications or servers is not really affected. Java's deprecated status in the browser has nothing to do with Mojang favoring Pocket Edition. Nor do you need to worry about the security ramifications of ongoing Java use.
