I have been fiddling with Kotlin for last few days. It is trivial to get it working in Android Studio, which is a plus already. It's not nearly as verbose as Java, and for one thing, it gives me LINQ that I've been missing from C#.
- manojlds 12y agoFor C# devs, Xamarin is a good choice I believe, despite being paid.
- V-2 12y agoI've had opportunity to play with it (at work), but given the price, not a likely choice for my hobby projects. It's not without its drawbacks, either. Since it's not native development (for Android), we 'e adding more moving parts into the equation. And, for instance, most of the sample apps for Xamarin.Forms wouldn't even build when I tested Xamarin. I had to fix folder paths (to Android SDK) manually. The product is superb, but Android is under rapid development and Xamarin folks will always have to play catch up with them. And in meantime, weird things - all sorts of incompatibilities - are bound to be popping out.
- UK-AL 12y agoXamarin Forms is really new. Xamarin Android(Accessing native Apis via C#) is quite stable.
- sitkack 12y agoHow well does the bytecode convert with RoboVM?
- talloaktrees 12y agoKotlin works very well with robovm. In fact, there is a game written in kotlin on the iOS store called True Fool that uses robovm
- Pxtl 12y agoWait, there's and Android-compatible language with LINQ-like queries? BRB, converting my entire codebase.
