Android...I'm still hoping Google will soon focus on Go and deprecate the usage of Java language for Android.

Is there a specific reason on why? Just curious?

Any reason why Go is better than Java on Android? Concurrency is the reason? I personally think Go is good for System Programming, e.g. Docker, GoRouter (Cloud Foundry), etc.

Java is here to stay. We are a small startup, but I am building our entire backend in Java 8.

JVM languages would probably top such lists in coming years.

Think JRuby, Jython, Clojure,Javascript...etc and of course Java.

For anyone interested in trying these out, checkout HiveMind (crudzilla.com), I am the developer.

Another reason would be that JNI is horrible and if you need to mix your app with native code you are out of luck.

definitely a smart choice...especially if you are thinking of something that can adapt to evolving technology, so far I haven't found a platform quite as flexible.

So Go solve the problem, right? How is Go's OpenGL/OpenGL ES?
