    Are you serious about that? My first thought was: It's a joke. But why on Dec 3rd? May be April Fools' Day in another country? :-)

    @Gordon

    Java was used in a variety of things ...

    My two cents to the importance of Java - unrelated to Espruino.
    Java is really dead - running as applet in the browser!
    On the server side it is very popular. The biggest shopping systems, ERP, telecommunication, banking, energy sector applications, .. a majority of the "enterprise" things run on Java.
    By the way the most popular mobile platform is largely built with Java.

    Java and JavaScript are both not common in embedded programming. But latter is changing with Espruino. ;-)

  • My additional two cents, if I may, both JavaScript and Java seem to be a good idea at the time. Now for the risk of being treated as a Microsoft fan-girl, I believe that a C# device would be prosperous for the way the IoT will commence. Both Js and Java have their flaws, C#,. NET, mono, seem to be the way to move forward.
    But I'm distracted. I don't believe my 10 year-old television understands JavaScript where it does do Java whether I like it or not.
