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.
What? Java doesn't run on iOS because Apple forbids that. AFAIK there's no
technical reason.
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flexibility seriously, they are still pushing an outdated model of asking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.
This is a good point, but completely orthogonal to the issue of Java
runtime on Android or iOS or whatever.
