Seems like it would be massively messy to move to anything but another JVM language, considering the long history of Java-based Android. Matter of fact, I'm having trouble thinking of an example of any major platform making such a fundamental change and surviving. Maybe Apple switching from OS9 to OSX/Cocoa. They started building the Carbon compatibility layer, what, 2-3 years ahead of the switch, and IIRC the API is still available today, though considered deprecated. And no version of MacOS had anywhere near the adoption level or number of third-party apps as Android does.
