Apple doesn't like JAVA. Apple doesn't like Flash. Whatever Apple says is old
news, the rest of the computer industry is quick to marginalize or stop
developing completely.Apple said "Flash is bad, mmmkay?" and Adobe just about
instantly stopped updating Flash player for Android. No reason other than Apple
decided that no iPhone apps would be allowed if Flash was used in any way to
create them.
The people who make the popular web browsers have been kowtowing to Apple, it's
become rather difficult to use JAVA and Flash sites. I got rid of one of my HP
networked printers because its print server used JAVA and since it's old its
been deemed "insecure" and thus automatically blocked from being accessed by
current browsers and JAVA implementations - and attempts to tell the 'security'
where it can stuff it are completely ignored. Click the ignore, run anyway etc
all you want, won't allow access to the print server. The two HP printers I
have now use Something Other Than JAVA on their internal servers and I can
still access them via any web browser on any version of windows, and on my
android smartphone.

There are enough open source tools that it would not be hard to
find one that works and is 100% cross platform. Java is pretty
universal an OK for user interfaces on computers and iPhone.
I think today any new software would have to support phones and
tablets in a distributed environment.
What's more important is to find ways to code the real-time parts
in a hardware independent way. The Mesa FPGA code is not portable at all
the PRU code is not portable. Software like this can have a lifetime
measured
in decades while hardware comes to change fast. What can be stable
are some APIs. Possibly an RTOS that sports a wide range of hardware.
