Wow, I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this little gem on TechCrunch:
Android chief Andy Rubin wrote in a 2005 email, “If Sun doesn’t want to work with us, we have two options: 1) Abandon our work and adopt MSFT CLR VM and C# language – or – 2) Do Java anyway and defend our decision, perhaps making enemies along the way.”
Imagine how different the world would be today if Google had chosen .NET instead of Java as the native development framework for the Android mobile operating system…
I am just learning to write for Android using C#. You have probably already heard of MonoDroid, but I just started learning it.
Writing Android apps in C# using MonoDroid
C# as native language for Android, must have been an astonishing announcement to make.
The world would be a better place…
Happily, we have MonoDroid!
I don’t think C# will ever be a native language for any Google product. Anything but not C#.
