I don't understand the relevance?

MicroEJ OS, a Java based OS for micro-controlers like the ARM Cortex-M3, with 128 MB NAND FLASH + 512 kB internal for storage and 32 MB SDRAM + 96 KB internal for program data, running at 12 MHz is far away from the average Android device configuration, yet can still run a mix of Java/C stack.
OP: go has an interest in suiting embedded because Android.

Me: Android doesn't need to meet constraints anywhere near a home router (which needs to run ntpd)

You: there's a proprietary Java-based OS for Cortex-M3

.. still don't get it. Are you trying to sell me something?

That there are Android like OSes that run in hardware less powerful than home routers.
The relevance of Android here is that Go has a reason to target it. Not that it's a Java/C hybrid.
