the notion of a java setup going missing is terrifying but if any programming language is capable of it, it’d be java
me, pointing at a server: "runs java"
me, pointing at an IoT toaster with MIDP support: "runs java"
you, sobbing: "you can't just point at 6 billion devices and say they run java!"
me, pointing at a SIM card: "runs java"
you wanna know something funny? Auditing those sim cards for security issues is a big part of my job. I've seen multiple in-house vendor implementations of the javacard VM, and honestly I have a way better impression of them than I do the official Java. But Oracle is probably counting them in the x billion devices count even though they're more "java compatible" than java per se.
based on my own extremely limited experience with it, Java Card is a pretty neat technology, but it really shines a spotlight on how inconvenient signed byte literals are in Java.
Have you ever had a chance to do anything with BD-J? I have long fantasized about using it to make video games that can be played on any ordinary Blu-Ray player.
no, I've never worked on a blu-ray player; I imagine the firmware for those things doesn't get revised very often anymore.
