?? Well as
Android is Linux under the hood, and iOS and MacOS are UNIX
under the hood, that makes those numbers look a bit different.
I thought Android was written in Java or maybe Javascript. Jim Gosling
wrote Java and there is JRE for (at one time) solaris and there is for
Windows and Linux.
There are still JREs (and JDKs) for Solaris on both SPARC and x86_64.
And for Linux on x86, x86_64, ARM, and everything else.
