Have you ever tried to use Java on some more exotic operating system? And by exotic I mean something that even Linux was few years back. How long it took for Java to run on AMD64? Have you ever tried to run Java on MIPS or ARM?



That used to be a problem because Java was controlled by SUN and you could only run Java an whatever platforms Sun choose to support because you could only get your binary JVM's from them. So if Sun didn't compile and provide it, it did not exist for that platform.


Those days are gone... Java is now 100% GPL2 open source and available for anyone to compile and develop for any platform they want themselves.


So your argument is completely a thing of the past.
