I completely, emphatically agree with the point I think you are trying to make: the Java runtime is too inflexible for the needs of consumer client software. Mono lets you run C# apps in iOS, Android, Google NaCL, and soon PlayStation Vita -- that is flexibility. Java runs on Android, obviously, but none of those other platforms, and doesn't even try to accommodate them. I completely disagree with you, when you have said that this is due to permanent technical reasons; Sun/Oracle just haven't taken runtime flexibility seriously, they are still pushing an outdated model of asking users to install/update/maintain a JRE, and this is one area that the open source community really hasn't tackled. I'm disappointed most of this group and the Java community doesn't seem to understand this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
