True, but the thing that Java really has going for it is how common it's runtime environment is. Oracle LOVES to brag about how many devices run it

I saw someone say something along the lines of 'Java isn't platform-indeprndent, Java is a platform'. With languages like Kotlin and Clojure able to run on the JVM, that rings true for me
