Shiny & new != better. This is pure awesomeness for people looking to write applications on Android that require very high performance and want to minimize the costs in doing so.
On top of this, providing a more comprehensive native API may allow other languages (Haskell maybe??) to tie into the Android SDK - now that would be very nice!
Don't be so short-sighted.
- kenjackson 16y agoI didn't say shiny & new == better. Doing something that has existed on virtually every platform in the world is a "finally" moment, but not "awesome". Was this awesome when it was in Windows Mobile 1.0? Is it awesome that it's in Meego or Bada? "Check out the new Bada OS. You can use an event loop! AWESOME!" Just seems like a degree of hyperbole and marketing that goes completely unchecked.
