that statistic of java running on 3 billion devices is because of j2me phones
somewhere off in the distance i hear a familiar jingle: ‘3 billion strong… and growing’
Shoot, I got paid to write a brand new Java 8 application… in 2020
But why?
In short: Money
Long story: Legacy
The really long story: They added a bunch of stuff in that version and it’s the last LTS before they removed a bunch of other stuff and a lot of companies are just too lazy to update their 10 year old crappy software.
The end.
