> That's what killed the Java write-once, run-anywhere promise.

I write Java software on Intel and deploy to an arm device.

The promise seems to work for me.



Cross compilers have solved this use case for pretty much any language with enough demand.

Meanwhile you won't have much luck running Eclipse or any other large Java program on your custom OS or hardware platform if you just port the JRE.


That's run-on-the-other-device-I-manage, not run-anywhere. Run-anywhere was used in the meaning of run-by-untrusting-parties, like javascript on the web.
