Yes, Java is a crummy language. Nevertheless, it has traction not only in the Android space, but also in the enterprise space. Just look at IBM (where my brother worked on Java enterprise shit). However, Java is not the most important thing here. It's the Java library ecosystem. That's what everybody is after. And that's why, strategically, it is vital to get Smalltalk/Pharo to tap into that ecosystem.
Java may not be the only way to write for Android, but it is, by far, the most popular. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PharoJVM-tp4866633p4866682.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
