Building an Android app with Sky is basically similar to using phonegap. i.e. You use HTML/CSS and web components, but it promises better performance and a more modern api. The codebase is a forked version of chromium, but with a lot of legacy web cruft removed. The DOM api is replaced with a new more modern api. CSS has some important performance bottlenecks removed. It also allows linking to off main thread code written in C++, Java, Go, JS, Python and Dart. Main thread code must be written in Dart. They are aiming for the performance of native, but with a development toolset similar to the web. IMHO a very worthwhile experiment.
