I don't think that would be feasible. That would mean deserting all their Android developers, telling them that their investment in Android skills is now worthless. Nobody would develop for Google's replacement OS.
- fauigerzigerk 16y agoI also think it is unlikely but if Oracle wins outright and demands excessive royalties Google might be able to justify the move. And it's not exactly rendering all skills worthless if you're forced to use the very same API from JavaScript or Go instead of Java. I would think it is much more likely that they would use V8 since it is already on every Android device and everyone already knows JavaScript.
