Can you please share the roadmap for adding new language support?

To be honest: We have not decided what language we will pick up next. Our first priority is to improve on our Java coverage. In a few months we should be ready to choose our next language. We are thinking about either tackling Python or implement support for a more recent language like Kotlin, Swift or Go.

I spend a lot of time in clients' ios apps which were developed by other contractors long ago and then I'm asked to fix bugs and add new features. I think this would help me save a lot of time. Since it already supports C/C++ would objective-c support be relatively straightforward to add? Not sure if there are many others who would like to see it, but I know I would definitely appreciate it.

The intro video mentions Java, C, and C++.

Right, it's "just" Java, C and C++ for now but we are planning to extend our available languages as soon as possible!

would that happen to include scala?

Looks cool! This hits a pain point of mine working in a legacy Python and C/C++ codebase. Any plans for Python support?

Happy to hear that you like it! Full support of Python won't be easy but maybe we could tackle this one in stages. Implement highly demanded features in a first Python release and improve on that later on.

+1 for python.

That'd be great. How can we stay in the loop to hear about Python and other feature releases?

Unfortunately it doesn't. Even though Scala and Java output the same kind of bytecode, these languages have different language specifications. We currently only support what's in the JLS.
