You literally mention Java GUI apps in response to a post that calls out Android, a mobile OS and application ecosystem implemented in Java. The languages are not the issue.

It took Google more than a decade of trying and a VM rewrite to get close to the perceived performance of iOS.

And anything performance intensive was done in the NDK anyway.

All of this because of Java.

Indeed, the big difference is that Google was willing to put money on the table to make it work.

Those improvements are exactly what WinDev sabotaged in regards to Windows.

Also in case you have forgotten, Objective-C and Swift are also managed languages, check chapter 5 of Garbage Collection Handbook, or any other CS reference in automatic memory management algorithms.
