Interesting, I always thought it had to do with Android’s ungodly software stack which at some point involves, of all things, fucking java.
Java is only used for software development, there’s nothing Java during run time.
ART?
ART what?
ART is the equivalent of a JVM. It doesn’t implement all the apis, the compiled bytecode differs, it’s optimized for mobile but that doesn’t make it not a JVM.
That’s why the NDK exists: so you can build and run C++ code natively.
Python VM is Java by your logic. If you don’t understand IT, you shouldn’t really talk on IT topics.
I can use the exact same apache jars on my Android project and my Java server.
That’s not Python. That’s very clearly java code.
The implementation of the contract is different but that’s not the same as not being Java.
You can’t use the same JARs in runtime.
Thou art wrong.
This is not true. See above.
It IS true! See the above indeed. In short - there’s no Java anything during runtime and never was.
How would you define what’s “Java” then. The language used by source code, or the compiled bytecode, or the runtime?
I don’t define anything, there are Java standards which define source code, binary code and runtime behaviour compatibility. That makes it possible to run Java apps on non-Oracle JVMs, use non-Oracle tools, etc. Android doesn’t have anything Java outside of source code. And even Java source code is not 100% compatible. It’s just not Java at all and never was. You can’t even use many open source Java libraries on Android because they are not Android compatible at the source level.
TIL that a microsecond exists and 1 millisecond is the same as 1,000 microseconds.
Wt… oh, congratulations on being one of todays lucky 10k
