Android development is fucking atrocious. Get rid of Java.

Just use Clojure.

Native development for non-desktop operating systems in general is atrocious.

About to make a simple app for a client, havent touched it since the beta, how good has it become?

>>62128643
Have fun.

good thing they're switching to Kotlin then, huh?

>>62128591
it's a clusterfuck of dependencies and a gazillion nonsensical interfaces with unclear purposes and lifecycles

t. professional java server dev who tried to make a stupidly simple app once

This. The problem is not Java. You can switch to kotlin and still have to deal with Google's ultra-complex overengineered APIs.

The successor is fuchsia, a SJW OS where you code in dart.

t. Mobile dev trying to switch to backend while still sane

>>62130494
I agree with you but it's still trivial. If you can't get your head around it you're probably a retard

>>62128445
Google has shit apis and terrible documentation

I don't know how they get by
