Work towards running Groovy on Android has been going on for years, but with this new PR <https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core/pull/436> https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core/pull/436> and the (unofficial?) announcement of Groovy 2.4 it looks like it's finally here.
- vorg 12y agoChampeau didn't say anything about performance. Last year Laforge said it took 20 secs to startup a simple Hello World program [1]. Is performance now better? [1] http://groovy.codehaus.org/GSoC+2013 http://groovy.codehaus.org/GSoC+2013
- msgilligan 12y agoI'm an iOS user/developer and Groovy developer that's thinking about dabbling with Android. I haven't tried it yet, but I know they've done a lot of performance work in the last year. There's an app in the Google Play store that you can try out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.champeau.gr8confagenda.app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.champeau.gr...
- ilopmar 12y agoI was at Cédric's talk at GR8Conf and he spoke about the performance and the memory footprint. Using @CompileStatic the performance is like a Java native application and the memory consumption is about the same. I suggest you that keep an eye on the gr8conf web page and see the talk when is published.
