>resource constrained environments Like what? Even $40 dev boards these days have 8 core processors and 2GB+ of RAM.

  You've got a resource constrained environment in your pocket right now.

    And it's running Java. Not the JVM, mind you. Though I think JVM-as-a-spec is still incredibly powerful, even on Android. I can write Kotlin apps, Groovy apps, Scala apps…

      And it takes a lot more resources than a device that doesn't have the overhead of Java....

        Depends which Java one is talking about. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/embedded-se/documentation/javase-embedded-sysreq-2043454.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/embedded-se/... http://m.ibm.com/http/www-01.ibm.com/software/wireless/wece/features.html?S_CMP=wspace http://m.ibm.com/http/www-01.ibm.com/software/wireless/wece/... http://www.ptc.com/developer-tools/perc http://www.ptc.com/developer-tools/perc There are a few more. All of them without the hungry requirements of Android and compliant with Java TM license. Of course Java won't be able to run on Arduino and similar tiny controllers.

      The real JVMs, require just a few hundred KBs to run embedded. There are tons of comercial applications running embedded Java in hardware people might not be aware of. Google's arguments regarding why they had to fork Java are just smoke and mirrors, only believed by those that only ever used the OpenJDK.

    You mean my quad core with 2GB ram phone? That could easily run a JVM.
