Why not Java?
1 comments

Java fails on multiple points.

First, my list failed to include web because of the context. Web is, by far, the largest and most important platform. Even if I'm building only native installers for a project, I need to be able to build web projects with the same tools to make this work.

Java also fails "one code base" requirement as desktop and mobile are very different. The poor iOS support is going to cause it to fail the "square on" requirement as well.

No on Java.
