    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.
