I'm really glad they chose C-language for this, personally. The reason is, I've been solving the mobile dilemna for the last few years by focusing on one policy: Lua is the platform. So as soon as I can access a Libre-phone, I'll put my favourite Lua-based engines on this thing, work out a toll-free-bridge for any of the nice OS things, and put all my apps on it as a target platform. Just a matter of having the hardware. (That said, there is absolutely no reason one could not do the same thing: use your language-of-choice, with a bridging layer. The use of C makes this a lot more tenable than, say, other systems languages.. at least in terms of tooling and methodology.)
