Well, thanks all for the answers.

Just FYI: Jython allows applets, although I think you can't use eval().

Signing may be a solution, but I doubt it .. most folks find it troublesome and error prone.

WebStart?  .. well maybe that's the answer for Groovy.  Maybe make it dead simple to use JNLP via a builder or similar.  Has anyone done this successfully with Groovy?

So although I'm (reluctantly) willing to agree that web deployable != applets, I think we need a good alternative, rather than just sneering at applets.
