Unfortunately, people tend to regard technology as old instead of mature, that has a few years or even decades under its belt.

And JAVA is certainly one of them. I myself am neither a big friend nor an active user, but the JVM with its many applications is one of the best pieces of software mankind has ever produced. You disagree. Fine. 😎

Michael Kohn alas @mikeakohn is definitely a friend of the language. He is also a friend of the Nintendo64. In his current project Nintendo 64 Java, he has spared neither time nor effort to actually implement a runtime for the console.

Sounds strange at first, but it actually works pretty well. If you are fond of JAVA yourself, Michael's toolchain and approach at least open all doors for your own JAVA-based N64 development.

Exciting.
