- moron4hire 16y agoCertainly not Objective-C. There is a reason Objective-C is really only a viable option on the Mac platforms, and that is the heritage of NeXTSTEP that Jobs brought with him when he came back to Apple.
- there 16y agomaybe google can try to push the go language on android.
- zokier 16y agoI very much doubt that. My guess is that Google goes the HTML+JS way with ChromeOS, blurring the line of the OS and browser even more.
- nkassis 16y agoI agree with you on objective-c. As for HTML5, V8 installed on a phone + installable javascript apps could fully replace the current dalvik java stuff. V8 extension could provide access to non standard stuff (calling api...) and html for interfaces would be simple. Games in WebGL running natively on the phone would be cool, with the fileapi there is no need for servers around.
- moron4hire 16y agoPersonally, I think HTML5 is the wrong answer for the wrong problem. The problem is not "how do we make HTML+JavaScript work more like an application." The problem is also not "how do we make more application-like web pages." The problem is "how do we distribute application-like functionality over the web." That never had to mean making a new version of HTML. That never had to mean running inside the browser. The folly of HTML5 is this incessant reliance on SGML and human-readability. In real-world, big-boy-pants development, we don't write HTML, HTML is our output format. We never needed a new HTML, we needed a new output format that worked. I don't think the WHATWG is up to the task, as evidenced by the complete lack of sane audio handling.
