- melling 14y agoHow much more does it need to mature? The Android VM is not very mature and it isn't nearly as performant as Sun's Hotspot compiler. I would never throw out the "Java" language but having Go as an option might be good for developers, with its near instantaneous compile times and concurrency model. It could be used instead of the NDK, for example.
- loudmax 14y agoI agree, there's too much invested in Dalvik as a Java environment for Google to throw that out, however the Oracle lawsuit works out. I wonder how feasible it would be to make Dalvik run Go the way it runs Java. If it runs reasonably well, that would be a great option.
