Go should replace Java in Android Development

• pling 12y ago
  Go should replace Dalvik and the half arsed Java runtime implementation on Android yes, but I'd take a proper mature JVM over both on any device.

    I am looking forward to the Google IO presentation about ART. Looking at the official languages both in the iOS and WP 8.x SDKs, Google should at least give first class support to all major JVM languages.

  Rust and python should, for speed, GC-lessness, memory-efficiency and ease of programming.

  Not likely to happen. - The ticket requesting support is open since 2012; - Android team is very Java biased and see the NDK as something that was imposed on them; - The Go team is still discussing how to add dynamic loading support to make it work in Android
