"Damn, that grotesque-looking android startled me and I spilled my cup of Java all over my hip, fortunately it was cool so I didn't get burnt".
This reminds me of that contest where people had to get the phrase "I smoke crack rocks" into a published academic paper, and the winner was something like "we burnt iodine (I) solution to observe its corrosive effect on stone and witnessed I smoke crack rocks".
...which uses the Java API and libs... It's a more pleasant option than Java but it's not going to solve the API copyright issues.
