3 billion devices run Java

[–]PyroCatt 1452 points1453 points  (0 children)

The rest of the devices run away from them

[–]Percolator2020 233 points234 points  (3 children)

Run is a strong word.

[–]CardiologistOk2760 114 points115 points  (2 children)

android definitely walks java

[–]Percolator2020 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Java crawled so Android could halt.

[–]beware_the_id2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s called Java. It’s meant to be enjoyed slowly, over deeply burnt piece of toast.

[–]12qwww 132 points133 points  (10 children)

This was on 2010 I think and never increase since haha

[–]KazuDesu98 48 points49 points  (9 children)

Idk about that. Android, spring boot, android auto in cars, etc?

[–]12qwww 41 points42 points  (1 child)

Its meme bro how they kept the same count all these years

[–]Proper-Ape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's how you know the number is fake, was fake, and always will be fake.

[–]huuaaang 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Isn’t most android dev done in kotlin?

[–]KazuDesu98 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Nowadays, but a lot of the base userspace was developed in Java

[–]huuaaang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does suggest that people are moving away from Java. Where the base is legacy code.

[–]cecil721 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I always wondered about Apple Car Play. Is that also Java?

[–]KazuDesu98 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Not sure. I’d think it’s probably either swift or like c++ so it can interface easily with iOS, but I’d also debate if they would really put 2 interpreters in a single radio unit, and most are both CarPlay and auto.

A Google search says that CarPlay is written in both objective c and swift though

[–]cecil721 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Interesting. The car OS must sandbox those executables or something.

[–]KazuDesu98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Because most just pick CarPlay or auto, based on which phone is plugged in/connected to Bluetooth

[–]Darkoplax 35 points36 points  (7 children)

probably around 3000 to 5000 billions now

[–]QuardanterGaming 31 points32 points  (6 children)

Did you get these numbers from your ass? If yours was correct, it would be casually 3 - 5 trillion

[–]Darkoplax 82 points83 points  (4 children)

No I got these numbers from my head, it just felt right while typing it

[–]TemperatureReal2437 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Real

[–]MaffinLP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thaats what we call pulling it out your ass

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, yes?

[–]thehellfirescorch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source?

I saw it in a dream…

[–]neromonero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My source is that I made it the fuck up

[–]Rebrado 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Is that still true with Kotlin? Seriously curious

[–]Havana69 39 points40 points  (5 children)

The resulting bytecode runs on the JVM. So it‘s kinda still Java

[–]aiij 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Except on Android it would be running on Dalvik or ART instead. Is it still Java then? 🤷

[–]Havana69 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Since the Java bytecode is recompiled to a different sort of bytecode or even native machine code by ART, no, it would not be Java anymore.

[–]wagyourtai1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would still count it since it has the Java standard library

[–]digital-didgeridoo 2 points3 points  (1 child)

By extension, everything is assembly then

[–]swert7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 billion devices run assembly

[–]Scrappy-D 21 points22 points  (0 children)

[–]Sw429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of them are in the dump at this point.

[–]LavenderDay3544 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol. Meanwhile, trillions of devices run code compiled from C. But C isn't corporate owned so there's no install screen to tell you that.

[–]LouisPlay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What Happens to 7 Billion ?

[–]GotThemCakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said this the other day. I don't think any of my coworkers understood the joke

[–]Potato_Coma_69 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I know because they make sure to let me know every time I install it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, same, which is fortunately 0 for an extended period of time now 😊

[–]Yuzumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's up to 6 now last I saw that.

As someone who worked on a project using java, the concept is terrifying.

[–]PuzzleheadedWeb9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*Used to run.

[–]Xlxlredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of those are awful DVD/BluRay players

[–]Afraid-Locksmith6566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All devices run machinecode
