.. and then someone gets the idea that your application should now run natively on Android phones, since they all run Java anyway, right?
- incepted 11y agoYes, they all run Java. What's your point?
- frankzinger 11y agoI'm guessing his point is that "4 GB" is a big problem on a phone.
- incepted 11y agoYes it is, but his number was an exaggeration in the first place. There are hundreds of millions of phones running Java today, what does that tell you?
- m_mueller 11y agoThe point is that memory still matters, not that Java is inherently a problem. You're shifting the goalpost here - earlier your claim was that 4GB is not a big deal since we can just buy more memory, now it's that 4GB is a ridiculous number anyway. It's not if you meet one of these typical "don't do any premature optimisations (even in the design phase of my data structures), because some important CS person said so"-designs. There's all too many programmers who think they should never have to care about hardware anymore.
