It's year 2025 and we have yet to have impact of CUDA like what Java had in the idea, "write once, run it anywhere"

Academia and companies continue to write proprietary code. Its as if we continue to write code for Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight in year 2025.

Honestly, I don't mind as Nvidia shareholder.

In the end Java doesn't achieve "write once, run it anywhere" either.

I guess there might be a way to develop apps for iOS or even PlayStation in Java, but my knees hurt just thinking about how many hoops one needs to jump through.

I’m currently working on migrating Java code from mid-range systems to containers in the cloud. The number of code changes required is near zero. They may not have gotten portability perfectly solved, but it’s pretty darn good compared to many other platforms.

Now, if the industry could just get out of the ridiculous Java 8/11 rut, we’d be in good shape.
