Android existing is obviously good but I still wonder about the original sin of it being Java based. Latency on so many things always gets me (I still remember how an iPhone SE would routinely outperform a top of the line Galaxy for Google Maps), and I know “Java slow” is more of a meme than anything but I can’t help but imagine that it must affect every project (especially vendor stuff which might be competently made but not made with performance in mind)
- squarefoot 3y agoLazy management searching for the most used language back then and not willing to invest in finding what would have been the best technical solution, no matter the performance drawbacks. As a result, security is still a myth and Android can only dream the low latency performance of other platforms for example when making music.
- rtpg 3y agoIs there really no out nowadays? I guess games get to just take control of the entire system and solve things that way?
