I rather have my phone be fast, without the apps taking ages to download.

Java apps are actually pretty small in size. It's the assets that make take up the most space, and that is independent of language.

App installation is a one time cost anyways. Did you mean s/download/startup/?

I was giving a counter argument in a very not intelligent way.

Being a polyglot developer, with Java, .NET and C++ as my favourite stacks, means I don't suffer from Java hate from C++ point of view, rather enjoy how one can combine their strengths to achieve a good outcome.
