    How many are used to run Java?

    There is a point on the scale at which a quantity of something stops making sense. Some sextillion transistors, billions of Java devices, and so on. I always found such statistics weird, as it is just too hard to imagine the numbers. It is far easier to rationalise logically.

    The basis for digital computing, that has been aggressively miniaturised and multiplied for decades? Yes, I believe those would be absurdly abundant.

    A programming language designed to be platform independent, around the dawn of portable computing? I am sure it must have found its way to a lot of devices.
