Android Platform Fireside Chat - Google I/O 2016:
Q: When are you guys releasing first-class swift support?
A: How many people would like Swift in Android?
现场举手投票。。。
A: Yeah,fail.Ok,so we won't do that.
[laughter]
A: You know,i think swift is a pretty cool language.I think apple,i mean that obviously is based on..you know,cocoa based on Objective C which is based on C,which is 40 years old and a pretty old language.They really needed a sort of more modern language.Obviously,you know,in history,it's sort of like java's somewhere in between Swift and C.But i think other platforms needed it more than,say,android does.Also there is some pretty nice java 8 stuff with ,like,lambdas and streams that were already mentioned.But,yeah,no immediate plans. I don't know where that rumor came
from.It was kind of an interesting rumor.
Q: Is there anyone in the room interested in using kotlin or other modern JVM languages on ..(被底下欢呼声打断)
A: Everybody just simultaneously shout out the name of a language,and we'll get right on it.
