Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities.
I love that Android chose Java so they could run it on different processor architectures, but in the end one architecture won out so Java wasn’t necessary any more. I guess they didn’t know at the time, but they’d claw back a tonne of efficiency if they dropped the Java VM.
Java also made it very accessible to the vast majority of existing Java developers.
Way more Java developers than Objective C developers at the time.
I wasn’t a fan of learning Objective C when I started learning just as swift was coming out but too new to use.
