And then you end up with subpar performance and application size :(

I had high hopes for Mirah for Anrdoid development few years ago, but it unfortunately fade away. It was basically Ruby like language that compiled down to pure java bytecode without a need for any runtime. That would fit Android perfectly.



Xtend, Haxe and Kotlin works just fine.
