Does it compile to Java source code?
- theGimp 12y agoAccording to the FAQ page, it compiles to Java bytecode. Is it Java Compatible? Yes. The compiler emits Java byte-code. http://kotlin-web-site.jetbrains.org/docs/reference/faq.html http://kotlin-web-site.jetbrains.org/docs/reference/faq.html
- higherpurpose 12y agoDoes that violate the new ruling in favor of Oracle lately? If not, what if Oracle pursues that in the future, too? If I were Google I'd be like on needles about continuing to support Java on Android, and I'd start looking for a complete replacement (which will take years to come to fruition anyway, so all the more reason to start now).
- sspiff 12y agoI can't find any information right now, but I believe it statically compiles to Java bytecode, which means it can easily be dex'ed offline. It wouldn't make sense to not support Android in a JVM language of 2014, honestly.
