Larry Ellison doesn't seem to agree with your "nothing to do with [...] JVM" assertion, to the tune of a 9.3 billion USD lawsuit, and indeed Google itself is developing Fuchsia with no java stack at all in it.
Moreover, it's not Linux if you have to use a Java API to do anything useful.
- jsight 10y agoThe lawsuit was not about the VM.
- vegabook 10y agoLook. The gist of the comment is that Android forces you to use java, or at the very least, a java API. You can dance around semantics as much as you like, but it will not change the fact that, unlike Linux, Android is intricately interlinked with java.
- pjmlp 10y agoNothing to do from the point of view of the headaches that brings to those of us that care about Java. And everything to do regarding being a fork on the Java ecosystem, and I side with Oracle. It remains to be seen if Brillo or Fuchsia will have any relevance on the market, even when coming from Google.
- vegabook 10y agoand I'm not a java lover as you can tell, but I can super-appreciate that for java guys, having some fork that tries to be java-not-java and confuses the ecosystem, is a pain in the butt. Be java fully committed and move it forward, or leave java well alone. Don't sit there and create a java version of the Python 2/3 mess that screws everyting up. I can totally appreciate that. Well put.
