yo ya''ll
i want to get into android development
So here's a big question

KOTLIN or JAVA ?

C#

Kotlin is love <3

Assembly, obviously...

Java

Java Bytecode

Just gonna leave it here:
Flutter

Raw machine code

Use the ndk and do them in c++ like a man.

Jk jk i recommend Java. Those skills are far more valuable in other places i.e you can get hired as a java developer and whereas there are some kotlin jobs they are normally less in some locations.

Also, you could make your life easier and use Flutter. Waaaay the fuck nicsr than the java android or kotlin api.

HTML

Depends what you know already but in general kotlin. It's nicer and seems to be the future for Android

JavaScript for the win!

P.S I was looking for a comment mentioning js,
Since I couldn't find one, this is that JS comment for you to hate!

Kotlin/Native with the NDK

Kotlin
It's super powerful

@diavel absolutely fuck Cordova with a giant steel rod sideways and douse it in lighter fluid and take a piss on it and light a match. Idk how titanium is, but probably fuck it too. Unless you need something fucking basic as hell, fuck js for app dev. It’s slow, obtuse, requires one off shit all the time.

I’d recommend learning Swift and Kotlin separately before I told anybody to choke on that cactus. 🌵

Xamarin might be ok if you really want one codebase and don’t mind being microshafted to hell and back.

Use React XP.
Thank me later.

@jeeper
React native?

Java yesterday, Kotlin today, Flutter tomorrow.

Swift. Though you'll have to build your own transpiler in Java.

@ScriptCoded I’d be surprised if there’s not somebody working on that....

@diavel never tired it. Guess it deserves a second look, but I remember reading some part about it and it pissed me off. That was about a year ago
