> Ah so Linux is not written in C, because there are some Assembly components there I guess. Oh do please stop exaggerating things. It's abundantly clear that I wasn't arguing the irrelevance of Java in Android. You simply said "phone OS written in Java" and I was making the point that Android wasn't exclusively written in Java, thus Go (amongst other languages) can and do still run on Android. Given the context was about whether x can run on y, it's very relevant if y was written exclusively in x, w or v. Also I don't understand why you've taken such a personal offence to Go but this entire argument of yours has been really petty. You have your tools you like and the GP has theirs. Does the GPs tools really need "death by a thousand paper cuts" to make yours tools look more important? Clearly it doesn't because Java is proven technology. So why waste your time criticising everyone else's tools? > What GNU components? The only GPL stuff surviving on Android is the Linux kernel. Quick Google suggests you might be right there however that wasn't the case last time I did dev work on Android. Even so, the NDK still exists.
