I read the wikipedia article and I understand the history.. and I'm not going any further because I said I wouldn't

I'd rather not debate when exactly it started. but the paradigm did not begin in the 70s or even 80s, maybe the 90s but in recent years java has brought the apps to people phones that got them to use the internet.

EDIT: I'd also like to add that I'm fully aware that Java was ultimately derived from C and C is the base for OSes and blah blah blah... and that's not what I'm talking about. C != Java and Java was what actually enabled the information age as almost everyone knows it, that is to say it's what created the "paradigm."

Lastly, and this is not in direct response to you MoniteredCitizen, but other responders as well, but I feel that everything I'm saying can be understood from my OP (and if it doesn't make sense from context of the topic and conversation then too bad), and I'm not interested in making any more corrections or further explaining myself unless it's part of a progressive, non-argumentative conversation.

And again, there are C programmers from decades ago I have seen express their butthurt, and I know it's real because of their "I am all powerful" (for knowing C) mentality. To them I say: nana nana boo boo stick your head in doodoo, you're old.

Android apps are written in java. Android had blown the internet wide open. Like, everything else that can be said about the internet nowadays stems from that. I suppose you could generalize it and say the "smartphone" revolution, but Android has had the biggest influence - by a large margin.

the market is about to get saturated af with programmers.
