I wonder if Android will ever support Go? Seems Google would want to do this.
- wickawic 9y agoI was about to reply that go seems more systems oriented, but on second thought that is really more of a self fulfilling prophecy. With the proper library support I bet go would be a great language for mobile development.
- dcu 9y agothe bigger issue with Go is the binary size
- izacus 9y agoGo (like other non-JVM languages) doesn't talk to Java APIs well - the JNI bridge is ugly and adds a severe performance penalty. Short of actually rewriting Android itself, it's probably not going to happen.
