This is complete misinformation. Even Java apps on Android are first compiled to JVM bytecode, and then converted to Dalvik bytecode using the dx tool. Clojure and Scala go through the exact same process that Java does in order to make Android apps.
- drdaeman 13y agoAccording to http://stackoverflow.com/a/231284/116546 http://stackoverflow.com/a/231284/116546 Dalvik does not allow runtime bytecode generation, which may prevent some languages (Jython in particular) from running on Android without some (presumably heavy) efforts.
