How is a Java code running in a VM any more native than web technology?
- Pacabel 12y agoI wouldn't say that it necessarily is. But Android does offer the NDK and the upcoming ART runtime, which get far closer to native code than what we're seeing from HTML5/JavaScript/CSS.
- Touche 12y agoART is just a replacement runtime for Davlik. It's still no more "native" than a JavaScript VM. The world "native" has been bended to mean practically nothing at this point, and instead is used to differentiate "good" platforms from "bad" ones.
