When saw post my first thought was "I knew it! Google's been working on avoiding Java/Oracle and planning to let us write apps in golang all this time. Here it is!" Wrong "Go" it seems.
- jorgemf 9y agoGo doesn't seem to me as a good choice to develop apps. Why do you think they would move to Go? I would go to kotlin instead of other language if I needed to replace java
- bonsai80 9y agoI assumed Go would be high on the list due to the fact that they have full control over it (avoiding Oracle and their lawyers) and it has good performance. I agree that Kotlin is probably a better language for writing Android apps. Having done a ton of Java, I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely it is to work with.
- deburo 9y agoGolang doesn't seem a good choice for native apps because it lacks a UI framework. It seems to me that if you want to make apps for users with Golang, you would make webapps. If you're making webapps, you don't need to put Go on Android.
