Oddly, in the Android world, Java is pretty common. Lots of Android apps are developed in Java, odd though that sounds.
 
And I say that as someone who is old enough to remember Java being universally despised and exiled to the software equivalent to the Island of Misfit Toys.
 
Michael Andrews, one of the Elder Hackers, back in the days of Windows 9x, translated MicroSoft’s End User License Agreement for Java into plain English:
 
“Don’t use this code for realtime control, for weapons systems, or for anything else that may put life or limb at hazard. It isn’t man-rated*, it isn’t really thing-rated, and we don’t claim that it’s worth a good goddamn for anything at all, at all.”
 
*NASA once upon a time, back in the days of manned spaceflight, had a rigorous testing program for everything from individual nuts and bolts to entire space vehicles, and also computer code. When they said a system was “man-rated” they meant it had passed all the tests and was good enough to use in a spacecraft that would carry a human being, and they were willing to bet human lives on it working properly. Java… wasn’t.
