Did you choose to work with the JVM since leaving G?
- nostrademons 9y agoYeah, for this project at least. I've found that my choice of technology stack is largely dictated by a.) the libraries that are available and b.) the potential market I'm investigating. It's in Kotlin because I need Hadoop for at least part of the project, and one corpus I'm working with has a bunch of supporting tools in Java that aren't available on other platforms. I'd been doing a bunch with smartwatches a year or two back, so the project before this was in Swift (because when I talked to potential customers & looked at market share numbers, starting with anything other than the Apple Watch was indefensible), and two projects before then were in Java (because the Apple Watch wasn't out yet and Android Wear & Pebble were the only games in town). There were also a couple ideas that I'd tested out using just WordPress and YouTube, with no coding at all.
