Just imagine if NeXT had been based on the Acorn Archimedes platform, instead of M68k.

There would be no Java on Android, for sure.

As someone that knows Java since it exists, I fail to see the connection.

Additionally, as someone that ported a visualisation framework from NeXTSTEP to Windows, the Acorn would never be able to run NeXTSTEP.

NeXTSTEP was ridiculously expensive for a reason, in terms of hardware capabilities for the time.
