Errr, beg your pardon? There are some fantastic things written in java - jenkins is one that would clearly be difficult to do in any other language. And android's dalvik is a conceptual if not literal offspring. The thing I don't understand is why there isn't a dalvik VM for other OS's so android apk's could run everywhere without something silly like bluestacks. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
