@cato I, for one, welcome our new Java overlords.

@cato @karpour
At least for now they are against GenAI for contributions: https://web.archive.org/web/20260615055135/https://openjdk.org/legal/ai
Not like all the other tools and languages heavily embracing GenAI.
However, Oracle being the owner of OpenJDK and being invested in GenAI I‘m a bit skeptical how long this will last.

So, yeah, embrace Java!

@AliveDevil @cato Java was the first language I ever learned, after ActionScript. I have many fond memories. I also flashed my LEGO Mindstorms RCX 1.5 with lejos back then, which allowed me to run Java bytecode on my RCX, super cool! there was also a PersonalJava, a Java 1.3 VM for Windows CE with a slightly reduced standard library, which was fun to play with.

youre too late perry the platapus! my JDKinator already made it so all devices run java!

@cato the future is not Sky.net. It’s SkyJava
@cato Java runs natively on ARM processors - theres a whole instruction subset devoted to it.
@cato at the time I saw this toot, it had 6 replies and 7 boosts, which makes it even more over
@cato mmm do more devices run Doom than Java?
@cato Well... the overwhelming device-class that runs Java is SIM-cards. Virtually any SIM-card runs Java. So one can say, that Java is a language for writing software that mostly runs on SIM-cards.
@cato
We are the JAVA. Resistance is futile. Your defenses are insufficient. You will be assimilated.

@cato

I remember taking a Java class back in the late 90s when I was really excited about the promise of universal cross-platform compatibility. Or something like that.

@cato javas here! javas there! javas everywhere!
@cato someone needs to name a virus in Plague Inc "Java" and post a screenshot of the victory message in a reply to this :D
