What is Java to you? A programming language you learned in college? The lingua franca of corporate IT? Would you believe that Java is poised to dominate the next explosion of the Internet? Built for embedded computing and streamlined for real-time applications, here's why Java is the language for IoT.
Isn't Java too big for embedded systems?
Java wasn't always a viable first choice for embedded systems, mainly because embedded devices are often stingy on computing resources. Assembler, C, and even Python have fared better in systems with constrained memory, CPU power, or other hardware issues. This objection has largely faded away in the past few years, however, as the average size of an embedded environment has grown. Resource requirements have also shrunk with the introduction of new techniques for compiling Java for embedded environments.
