Apple went with Objective-C; C with standard macros; IIRC before C++?
Apple built a new language called Swift.
The Java pitch was "write once, run anywhere" because you port the JVM, and J2ME.
Google rewrote many parts of the Java stack.
Google ported to Apache Harmony/ OpenJDK to port away from Sun then Oracle Java.
Google built a language called Kotlin.
Swift runs on MacOS, iOS, and Android.
Kotlin runs on Android/iOS/Win/Mac/Linux/JS. Dart lang also runs on any platform. Flutter also runs on any platform.
