The article reeks of ignorance. Swift doesn't really have GC (but ARC) - https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS504US504&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=apple%20swift%20uses%20arc https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C5.... It also takes an unnecessary dig at nodejs. Has the author ever written node.js production code? What bugs has the author found and filed?
I am sure most android devs rather have a major ramp up of the Android APIs rather than switching the programming language. The real problem with Android is the ungainly APIs and how very cumbersome it is to develop anything reasonable.
- th3iedkid 12y agoAdding more complexity to scala is its dependency on ASM for class file creation [1] and more refined performance options like tail-recursion [2] are implemented in a contrived fashion to make scala actually port to a non-standard JVM like dalvik .However if things were to change from ground-up like ARM actually made easy for functional programming. These facts actually can make porting a performance application to scala quite a job!
