How about golang?

  What's with this Go obsession in connection with Android? Go's design and the way it works is terribly suited for Android development and currently isn't even capable of plugging into JNI bridging architecture of Dalvik/ART. Not to mention that Go is a language built for static binaries running on a distributed server and the code running with alot of callbacks, external exceptions and user-input looks horrible.

    This is a proposal that's starting to get some serious traction. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y9hStonl9wpj-5VM-xWrSTuEJFUAxGOXOhxvAs7GZHE/mobilebasic?pli=1 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y9hStonl9wpj-5VM-xWrSTuE... In theory, Go could absolutely be used for android development

      In theory, anything can be used for Android development. In reality, the cost of JNI bridging, reboxing objects and the fact that Android APIs heavily use Java objects as parameters makes usage of any non-JVM compatible languages horribly ugly, clunky and rather pointless performance and code-quality wise.
