02/18/2022, 1:12 AMIt would make absolutely no sense for them to put massive amounts of work into something such as Compose and even Android itself for them to drop Kotlin.To be fair, Google does have a history of product decisions that make absolutely no sense. Just look at what happened with all their chat applications. 😂

02/18/2022, 4:18 AMIt’s about everything electronic from house hold smart devices to smart vehicles etc.Smart devices rarely run Android, and for things like Android TV/Chromecast integration is kinda fine

02/18/2022, 4:31 AMfrom original topic Kotlin’s current selling point is it’s Google backingUsing Kotlin on Android years before it was official, never was the selling point for me, same as for many other projects, it was essentially community driven decision to support Kotlin officially Also Kotlin will stay as official language for Android, and as I say Android will go nowhere
for any reason google pulls it back completely or reduce support in favour of its ownIt’s own what? Android also Google’s own

02/18/2022, 5:14 AMonce Google start pushing fucschiaWe even don’t know will they start pushing, or pushing as what (to which market) Android already here and it here to stay for many years, it in better position than most of platforms and Kotlin in a better position than most of programming languages

02/18/2022, 5:35 AMLike i said it’s unclear what Google’s strategy will beExactly, and I really-really doubt that they harm the biggest OS in the world which they develop themselves I also doubt that there is “Google strategy” more like different teams has own products
Google will try to push its own stuff like dart flutter golang etc isn’t itYeah, and Android and Kotlin, you know, their stuff
I am confused of Kotlin will make sense to put lot of effort?If you want to develop for Android next few years, you (and anyone else) have not much alternative anyway

02/18/2022, 5:46 AMActually Google acquired Android from different org but that’s not the pointThey acquired not Android from different org, they acquired org itself, and it was more than 15 years ago
but they can very well bring an alternativeThey can do, but do you really think Google able to conquer mobile market for themselves without other manufacturers? Google probably not even in 1% of mobile device market share globally
flutter is the way or KotlinIt’s not Kotlin vs Flutter, it’s native Android development vs Flutter. So you worry about Android, but don’t worry about some of Google teams side project which doesn’t has own platform at all?
