So Java, which powers a sizeable chunk of the real-world since two decades now, without needing the help of LLMish sloppy-pasta, is going to continue to power the Real World [TM] with its language and JVM that have been created with tens of millions of human man-hours without LLMish sloppy-pasta?

I'm shocked.

I'm not only shocked: I also see there a delicious irony in the countless of LLMish sloppy-pasta code that's now running and going to be run on man-made JVMs.

Closer to three decades than two.

Don’t worry, I think most LLMs, when starting a greenfield codebase, don’t reach for Java, so it may be a smaller amount of code affected than you feared.

If you asked the LLM to create an Android app it probably would.

		Interesting idea, so I had to check! Prompt: “Top language pick for an Android app? Respond with only the language.” Responses (admittedly via the aichat CLI, not an agent harness; and temp=0): Kimi K3: Kotlin GPT 5.6 Sol: Kotlin Claude Fable 5: Kotlin DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731: Kotlin Are there any other “inherently” heavily JVM-biased domains? I think even in Minecraft game mods Kotlin is possible nowadays…

		Kotlin my dude, unless you hate yourself.
