You may know that there’s a conflict between Google and
Oracle for using Java API in Android. Although Oracle won the fight, Google
tries to settle the matter. But if Oracle keeps swinging on Google, there’s a
possibility of removing Java from Android. That means Google have to find an
alternative language for Java.
There are several rumors about this. By the way the Google
invented Go language is growing popularity among developers. Google keeps
developing Go as a perfect language. And it is possible to write a complete
Android app using Go language. Since Go is a Google own language, there’s a
rumor that Go will replace Java in Android.
It is still not clear about the matter. Recently
JavaScript also has gained a significant growth in building mobile
applications. So sometimes Google may switch to HTML5 based apps. But most
probability will be with Go.
However Google haven’t officially announce this. Google
switch to IntelliJ based Android Studio from eclipse based ADT. Still Android
uses Java. I heard a news that Google is going to stop supporting Java in
Google Chrome. I don’t know whether Google is going to boycott Java.
Anyway if Oracle is strict with their decision, it’s
better to find a new language to use in Android.
