I'm the primary (only?) author of Javacard support, and as far as I can
tell, Javacard is dead as a doornail.  I see Oracle is still plugging away
at it - press release from January on the web site.  But I can't say I've
heard of anyone using it in years.  As a demo of how to write plugins for
things with weird deployment models for JVMs that lack java.lang.String and
floating point numbers, it might have some use, but that's it.  Kill it.

That was some fantastic stuff in its day;  there was some visual designer
code in there that perhaps could be repurposed more generally.  Not sure
that Java ME has any life left in it, unless it's being used in some
peculiar corner of the industry.

Ruby support is worth keeping, if it's even somewhat working.  That has a
real audience, and I recall the support was once pretty good.

Misguided junk to sell to managers who don't understand technology, so they
can torture their employees with it.

Ditto.

And so must die another attempt at live-editing in an emulated browser.
