COBOL and BASIC are alive and well.
C will never go away.
For writing simple filter programs, it is a very good alterative.

Java is used extensively on embedded devices. You're making yourself
look a bit silly, there.

How does your response relate to my post?

Is Java used for real-time systems (if so, they should fire the product

Does Java require .NET?

I think you have a reading comprehension problem.
