At least for Scala it's not based on hacks, it's not slower and the reason the APKs are bulkier is because if you don't use proguard you'll be embedding the whole Scala library. It's not specific to Android, the only difference is that on Android we care about the whole package size while on a server it's not a problem.
Groovy is probably slower, but it's slower on a regular JVM as well.
So nothing specific to Android here.
- pjmlp 12y agoHow come it is not hacks? I have to download plugins from multiple sources, compile them if the binaries for the latest release aren't available, glue everything together and hope for the best while coding and deploying to Android. Not to mention the bugs while interacting both with Eclipse and Android Studio tooling.
