Has Peter Norvig written about why Google went all in on java?
- davidron 10y agoDid Google? Google is very much a polyglot orginization. https://www.quora.com/Which-programming-languages-does-Google-use-internally https://www.quora.com/Which-programming-languages-does-Googl... As for Android, Google Purchased Android Inc in 2005, and I'm pretty sure the decision to use Java came before Google's purchase.
- pjmlp 10y agoIt also helps that Android team has quite a few ex-Sun engineers that used to work on Java, so I imagine that they rather keep pushing it than anything else. They are always quite clear that it is Java + C or C++ for native methods, regardless of what developers might wish for.
