On: Go: Planning the 1.5 release

[izacus]

Go Android support won't magically rewrite Android Java APIs (which is most of them, including whole UI toolkit).

[sandGorgon → izacus]

even if Android is running on ART binary rather than Dalvik ? I have been debating whether you can write code in Go that will work in the JVM GC and is linked through ART... not sure if it is possible.

[pjmlp → sandGorgon]

Go semantics are too different from Java.

So unless the Android team implements something like Windows Phone language projections (APIs metadata), it won't happen.
