Nice. Now please make C# a first-class citizen in Android and start to migrate from Java to C#.

No thanks. I like Java, and esp Java 8 just fine.

I also think Java is fine. Compared to C#, I find Java code easier to read as there is less magic. I also use Groovy for some corner cases like for example JDBC stuff or metaprogramming. I'm also a big fan of Maven and the development tools for Java, and most importantly the eco-system with rich libraries and frameworks. Is there an alternative for JRebel or Spring-loaded for C# yet?

What magic are you talking about? Various .Net frameworks have silly amounts of magic, but C# itself?

Silly amounts of magic? Ever looked at a Java Spring project?!

C# and java are very similar except C# has a bunch of extra features. Instead of creating anonymous classes and overriding methods you use event handlers. Plus you have linq,lambdas, operator overloading etc.

this. or atleast acquire jetbrains and make kotlin the standard.

Only please don't acquire JetBrains. Being acquired by Google is like being contacted ny the Borg.

Why would someone down vote an opinion that they are okay with Java? It added to the conversation. Personally I prefer C# and Swift to Java but others idea are just as valid.

It was probably more the 'no thanks'. Got mine sort of mentality, two can co-exist.
