Questions:

What is this technology used for? Could someone list some sample apps?
How widespread is it? Does it have "competition" (other frameworks, either Java or not, that are used for the same thing) ?

Aglets is one of mobile mobile agent platform. Mobile agent is a fundamental technology of software development, just like　Object-oriented programming or Functional programming. So, your question is similar to "What is Object-orientd programming?" or "Is there any sample apps of Java API" :). Unfortunately, mobile agent technology is in research step, so, showing a practical sample of mobile agent may difficult.
Because this techonology is in research step, not in practical use step, there's no "competition", but, as a "congener", there is(was) "Telescript" (made by General Magic). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.230.87.183 (talk) 17:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this actually notable?

This article appears to fail Notability tests. It was a small open source project that attracted some attention 20 years ago when new, but which was never adopted widely. Wikipedia does not need to catalog every software library every created. Is there any evidence that this was really used? All I can find are old articles suggesting it could become the next big thing. Seems to me this should just be folded into Mobile agent. —dgies^t_c 19:27, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
