what difference would it make to run android on JVM instead of DVM? Isn't android too far along to take a u-turn and change the roots.

- pron 14y agoIt would make a lot of difference. First of all, you'd be able to run programs written in dynamic JVM languages like Clojure, Groovy or JRuby unmodified. Second, Dalvik was designed for low-power, low-performane, previous-generation handsets. Embedded HotSpot is years ahead of it in terms of performane. I honestly don't know if Android is too far along to switch.
