- cashewchoo 6y ago[I don't do Android, but, ] isn't Google trying to kinda pivot to Kotlin?
- pjmlp 6y agoYes, however Kotlin builds on top of Java and its FFI to Java libraries is a selling feature. It doesn't help much Koltin if those libraries can no longer be accessed with its FFI.
- bzzzt 6y agoGive them a moment, the judge just handed them the go-ahead to clone Java API's last week ;)
- pjmlp 6y agoThey were already using OpenJDK code snippets before that, it is really not wanting to.
