#4PythonKit (from Swift) is underrated but immensely useful in certain scenarios (i.e.: https://engineering.drawthings.ai/from-iphone-ipad-to-mac-en...).
Hopefully JavaKit can find their usefulness too!

It will also be glorious

Except contrary to iOS, on Android the C and C++ surface is very small, and calling JNI is a huge performance bottleneck.
Anyone that cares about performance on Android has to write the userspace logic directly in Java or Kotlin, and use Android IPC instead of JNI.

#8Cool! One thing Swift is really (maybe uniquely?) strong at is C/C++/Objective-C interop, including mixing "legacy" code with Swift and even replacing it file-by-file with minimal ceremony. Looks like this is aiming to bring a similar level of interop to SwiftJava.

Outside of Apple's ecosystem, is anyone using Swift?
Kotlin is growing in all areas, especially backend (being fully embraced by Spring/Spring Boot et al).

Kotlin-Java interoperability is at a completely different level.
