This would be horrible for people who enjoy sideloading APKs.

    Wait, really? I thought android apps could be written in java and in fact alot of them are. I know that you can use c# and c++ or some others, (python?) but i thought navascript was the majority of the apps.

    Although i suppose it doesnt make your statement untrue, if java is not the only language but only the primary language then it wouldnt be accurate to call android linux with java.

    I would say though its likely that this statement would be more true several years back.

      Java has been the primary language for Android for much of its life.

      There’s an important distinction to be made here - Java and JavaScript are not the same, and in fact really have nothing to do with each other.
