2.7 billion years ago, life came to exist on this planet. 3 billion devices run Java. Coincidence?
Probably, honestly
That's only partly a shitpost by the way, yes, your SIM card probably has a JVM or some other kind of Java environment
@joepie91 that's why they don't go very fast 
@joepie91 They must have fired the guy who counted devices a few decades ago, because 3 billion seems very low today
@joepie91 not sure if there are more sim cards or emv payment cards, both could certainly have javacard.
@joepie91 a much smaller contribution might be passports and biometric ID cards
(any/all experimental)
@joepie91 at a rate of around 1 device running java per year,
@joepie91 Post hoc ergo propter hoc. 😂
@joepie91 the entire earth was actually a hhgttg-style supercomputer experiment designed to eventually produce the perfect bytecode interpreter. Unfortunately due to unexpected outside influence, it ended up creating the jvm instead
Also most of those devices are probably SIM cards
