> Like a lot of Java code targeting Android is harder to maintain than C++, after just 6 months or depending on the brand of phone it runs on... Android isn't Java, and it's never been.

It is also much smaller in its reach than Java, and even of COBOL, and its domain is also much smaller than either.
