Check out RoboVM. We don't do portable UI layers, but you can reuse all your Java/Scala/Kotlin/Clojure code for business logic.

I've been in the "business" for almost 15 years, always hand waved my way through premultiplication. Excellent article, thanks to the author I've seen the light. That being said, the bleeding trick mentioned is widely in

Sounds like a plan :D Wishing you the best of luck, Superpowers looks promising!

As someone in a similar space (libGDX creator), i wonder how you finance development. Could you give insights on that?

https://robovm.com supports Java, Scala, Kotlin and Clojure on iOS, with apps on the app store. PaparVM has J2ME class library support only, so it's going to be tough to get anything big running. RoboVM is based on Android&

The boiler plate is 10-20 lines per platform, which is auto-generated for you and let's you do platform specific things easily. Any production game needs this capability to include things like ads, notifications etc.

I'm sure this will work as brilliantly as VATMOSS...

Will it be supported in the IJ Android plugin, say within IJ CE/Ultimate?

So many ways you can abuse Lucene :) Many years ago, we used it as a graph data storage as well.

300ms for a JNI call? In all my years using JNI with Dalvik/ART i have never seen such a degradation. Can you give an example?

Not sure if being backed by Google is a good thing. They tend to abandon their publically available code very quickly, see PlayN, Liquifun, etc.

Mario here, libGDX author and part of the RoboVM team. We switched from Xamarin to RoboVM for libGDX because it worked better for our purposes and was free. It being OSS was a plus, but that wasn't really a factor in the decision. We&#

It will stay free for libGDX folks.

Because our libGDX community had a bog impact on RoboVM over the past year.

The only limitation is the lack of runtime byte code genration. Reflection and proxies work as intended.

Even funnier: they forgot to mention all that sweet sweet EU and Austrian R&D funding money they received over the last couple of years for 'research projects' that don't deserve that title at all.

Lambda inlining only works for very narrow scenarios. Passing a lambda to any Java API, such as event handlers in Android, will always have to resort to an anonymous class translation strategy, which generates a static or instance method in

I can't speak for JetBrains, but from my own experience with Java, Scala and Kotlin, Java interop in Kotlin is a lot better. Scala also offers a lot more features than Kotlin, which is great for highly experienced programmers, but usua

It's sad that this process hasn't started earlier. It's a farce that publishers got to erect a walled garden around tax funded research without adding anything of value. That being said, EU CS academia is a cess pool where mo
