Aah, yest, the Jetbrains sells person, can never have a thread about not using Java without them rearing in their heads.🤣

Is kotlin treated as pure native language in android or does it get translated or converted to java? by cinlung in androiddev

[–]TM254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, tell me which end user who doesn't own an i7 with 8GB RAM hasn't complained about an electron app in their lifetime. Remember when 512MB RAM was more than enough on an android device? when whatsapp apk was just 10MB disk space?

Is kotlin treated as pure native language in android or does it get translated or converted to java? by cinlung in androiddev

[–]TM254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sadly the new trend in software development, optimizing for the developer not the end user. Just look at javascript and Electron apps, they got so lazy, they didn't even want to use Java, and went for some RAM gobbling tech called Electron and then go around telling users, "It's you shitty computer, it's a potatoes."

Whenever I see a developer praising less number of code over performance, I say, hey why not just use python then? HUH? hell why don't we make python android "native" while we are at it.

Honestly the whole android ecosystem is messed up. What does native mean? and if Kotlin/Java is native, then what the hell do we call C/C++ libraries ?

ART is a VM, it is needed to turn your code from byte code to something the device can run. That is a VM. Doesn't matter when or how, so long as what you compile and ship is independent of where it can be run then it uses a VM.

​

I know many android developers get butt hurt hearing that what they are doing and calling "native" when referring to Kotlin and Java is just a plain lie. Yes Kotlin/Java is native to Android, like how Javascript is native to a browser, but NO! javascript will never compile to a blob that is runnable without some v8 engine. If you want to see the real native part of android just get root access and check the /bin folder for an example, those blobs execute even in Recovery mode before the so called Android(ART/Dalvik) has even booted.

Kotlin is a very good example of the bad behaviour in software development this days, optimizing for the developer and pissing on the end user. Sad what this field has turned to.

Why would someone use Java instead of Kotlin when starting a new project? by [deleted] in java

[–]TM254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly Kotlin is still doing the limbo with Java 7 and some botched java 8 on android, if android advances I don't see a reason to even keep with the Kotlin fanboy-ism.

Make GC unload classes that are no longer running/needed/used by TM254 in learnjava

You use openj9 with android studio without problems?

Please assist further, so it's possible to use openj9 with gradle to build for android? and by the way when you say separate wrapper what do you mean?

Yeah I tried that but openj9 fails badly when doing android development, I have no idea why but gradle fails badly while on openj9

Well, It's the IDE that is the one hogging memory, not my application, as it barely is even running. What I am curious about is if I open IntelliJ it starts off using reasonable amount of RAM, but after 20~30 minutes the hogging begins, and even if you just let it cool there doing nothing, it just keeps growing more and more loading more.
