Java once again was a horrible horrible choice for a phone.
I'm still mind blown by the choice of Java. Slow start, garbage collection slow downs, and massive memory usage are all par for course. Then add to it the usual Java developer mentality of needing some massive architecture for the simplest of programs.
Is it any wonder to people that android is slow?
I have hopes that whatever comes next learns the mistake that people hate slow. Not being slow means not using a language where text editors are known to use gigabytes of memory and run slow on 12 core monster boxes.
