@bit_sparkle That's 100% true. They are bragging that it's less verbose than Java, but in fact, they made it quite hard to read.

@android_poet @Zhuinden Not like it's big news, but I don't care that much. As long as I have a choice, I will use what I consider better. When I have no choice, I'll migrate.

@android_poet @Zhuinden You'll have to pry my xml layouts from my cold dead hands 🤣. I don't like that react-like approach that takes over all the UI development right now.

@android_poet @Zhuinden For me it's inconvenient when I have to edit the layout xml - kind of too verbose and clumsy. I prefer the old relative layout. Or even better a bunch of frame and linear layouts.

@romxdev Over-engineered code is bad code.

@relizarov That's all about the priorities of language designers and compiler developers.

@Zhuinden "That was ridiculous! But, of course, what we're doing now is a completely different story!"

@SamProgramiz @MongoDB Pure SQLite without any ORM(-like) stuff is the best approach ever.

@TimSweeneyEpic @Zhuinden Uhm, but their plans to close Android from installing apps from "unauthorized" developers remain unchanged?

@valigo It's funny how they say "that one is just for basic tasks like web browsing" while the web stuff is so bloated nowadays that it consumes enormous amounts of RAM.

@Zhuinden Still the best way of doing UI on Android!

@mahersafadii @pepicrft @SwiftLang Yup, and that concurrency stuff with the actor model was probably last nail in the coffin.

@SumitM_X It means you'd rather switch from json to something else.

@Codelaby @krzyzanowskim Aren't Kotlin coroutines also a mess?

@ayushagarwal You should, actually. On different systems people may want slightly different stuff there.

@ronaldmannak UIKit is still the best way to develop for iOS. Just like Java + Android Views for Android. The most simple and direct way of implementing things...
