Given that it's Google, I wonder if it will support the languages favored by bootstrappers and small startups—Obj C, Ruby, JavaScript and more recently Swift and Elixir. I get the distinct impression that they're heavily optimizing large team productivity and aren't a fan of functional or highly expressive languages.
It's too bad, given how much nicer their app approval process, etc is than Apple's that the Android dev experience has been so much worse all these years.
- RyanZAG 10y agoWell going off common sense, it seems likely that Obj C and Swift definitely would not be supported on purpose.
- leadingthenet 10y agoI wouldn't write Swift off yet.
- xiaoma 10y agoHow is that common sense? Both are open source and Google is happy to lure iOS devs, presumably.
