C sucks to write and take care of memory, but it’s nice for super efficient code for use on smart watches. Samsung ditched it (tizen- native apps written in C) in favor of wearOS (java?), and their battery life is now less than half what it was.
WearOS is based on Android, which uses Android Runtime (ART) as the application runtime. ART uses Java (or any other JVM-compatible language, such as Kotlin) as the development language, but compiles the app to native code when it’s installed on a client device.

Holy hell Java on a Smartwatch?

So… Kind of?
Ruuuuuuust
All this talk of Rust I’m seeing makes me so sad Ada was never given a fair chance.
First time I’m hearing about it. Any fun gimmicks?
