Does anyone knows why there is no support for Go in Android?

  This is still being looked into proposed, but there is 3rd party tools to allow this: https://github.com/eliasnaur/goandroid https://github.com/eliasnaur/goandroid

  Google's a big company with lots of fiefdoms, and Go is one of the smallest; I'm not sure it even counts as a fiefdom. Android is heavily invested in Java/C++ and those types don't like to admit that you can do anything worthwhile in Go. After compiling Android a few times, though, you'll appreciate what the Go team was talking about when they said C++ compilation time was a driver for them.

    Well, support for Go on Android is already open for quite a while, so it seems to be low priority https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39482 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39482
