J2ME programming is actually kinda fun, because the concepts make sense, and there aren't many of them. Canvas/Screen is pretty straightforward. Android's Context/Activity/Fragment/Intent/Bundle/etc/etc are a cognitive nightmare by comparison. Unfortunately JRE 1.3 is almost 15 years old, and it's just annoying to e.g. not even be able to use java.util.List. And MIDP just isn't very rich in support for ... anything. But FWIW you can compile C to J2ME, and it kinda works: https://code.google.com/p/cibyl/ https://code.google.com/p/cibyl/
