I thought Dalvik was quiet because the principal author (Dan Bornstein) left Google a while ago. Is ART from the recent FlexyCore acquisition, or something els

    While Google's acquisition of Flexycore was only made public recently, the process must have started years ago. As Ars Technica noted, http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/google-buys-flexycore-creator-of-a-10x-speed-boost-app-for-android/ http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/10/google-buys-flexycore... > FlexyCore doesn't seem to have done anything on the Internet for the last two years. The company actively promoted its product, releasing 11 videos in a one-year span, and then just stopped. The lack of recent activity makes it unclear if Flexycore has continued development outside the public eye.

  One unfortunate thing about Bornstein leaving is he seemed to be the only one working on fixing the 65536 method limit bug/feature for Dalvik executables.

    Tell me about it. All we get is simply spinning methods into separate jars every six months or so. Not a solution, IMO.
