Java finally made it on my iPhone.
"Java uh.. finds a way." -Goldblum
This is actually pretty cool, though something about seeing my taskbar containing a window that contains an jvm that contains another window drawn in swing makes me think we've lost our way somewhat.. better we make the computers do it than rewrite everything by hand I suppose.
- throwawaydbd 9y agoI see it another way... It's actually a Holy Grail in a way. OS makers have made things intentionally incompatible since the beginning of time. Developers are finally finding effective ways to fight back. We could have had Java/whatever everywhere ages ago if the OS makers were not purposely segmenting the market. We might finally have a way out of the tyranny of OS makers taking 30% of the revenue in apps stores for example. WASM will change everything. Every platforms will be compatible somewhat against the will of OS creators. Expect some kind of backlash or walled gardening to commence shortly...
