Question

Java

Is it possible to use java instead of javascript to add interactivity to web pages?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

The html layout standard does not prohibit the use of any other programming language other than js.

<script type="text/ваш-язык-программирования"></script>

Only bad luck, except for the browser, such a solution requires the installation of a runtime module in the OS - be it java or silverlight, or something else.
As a rule, a typical user does not have such a piano in the bushes, he only has a browser and does not care if there are any specific modules in the OS, he wants to see your site exclusively using a browser.
So, just javascript.

Answer 3

If we are talking about a normal project, then no.
The web is based on 3 languages ​​- html, css, js.
java, python, php, typescript, ruby ​​are only server-side languages ​​(in this context). Older browsers can run applets, but they are not supported in newer ones.
The only solution is to write Java code that is later transpiled into JavaScript. This was already mentioned by a colleague - Vamp

Answer 4

you can write a java virtual machine in js
and run pure java code

Answer 5

If completely without JS, then, as far as I understand, interactivity is possible only inside the applet .

Answer 6

I don’t know if this is a topic, but there is such an old thing as GWT (Google Web Toolkit). There is also a Java -> JavaScript compiler, but the analogues above are better, IMHO
