Almost everything written in JAVA can be moved, with minor
changes to C++. I'd hate to do that, because JAVA is cleaner,
but I'd hate paying Oracle even more.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Google could probably do it without anyone even noticing.
oh gotta update the Android SDK, hohum, download, install
Suddenly all your java.util/java.lang are replaced with
brins.bundle and you find yourself programming in Guava not Java
regex FTW.

Even for apps developed with the NDK. Last I saw, you can't
actually build a native app without a wrapper.
Java (as a language) does provide significant value to
Android. Even if a lot of professional studios can use c++,
the use of java as a main technology means that the platform
is open to a lot wider market of innovators and tinkerers,
which is part of why it's great.
Of course if Oracle want to turn that value into a financial
thing, they need to invent time travel to change the law and
the licenses.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
