I don't know what you're talking about.
You can use Go to write android apps already so let the people that like other languages already supported by Android do the same. Nobody's going to rewrite Java or Scala in Go. As I said earlier, if Google wanted to do that it would have done that 5 years ago. They are clearly not interested in betting all their mobile strategy on a niche language.
- fauigerzigerk 11y agoI'm not saying it is going to happen or that it has no drawbacks. What I'm saying is that Go has some benefits as a compilation target. And no, you can not write Android SDK apps entirely in Go today. What you can do is write a library or command line tool and call it from a Java app.
