10/23/2018, 11:32 AMI heard from a level 5 engineer at Google today “The use of reactive programming is ill-advised in Android development because of known issues that it generates in the area of lifecycle complications/potential leaks. Also, Kotlin is supported as a first class language largely as a shorthand for those who prefer it when writing third-party applications”
This is his argument on why we should move our application to framework and use java/native code only.
@jw is this the reason why we wont be seeing Kotlin support in AOSP anytime in the future?
