I can't do it. Lord knows I want to write several apps for my droid. But I refuse to subject myself to JAVA. That language is all that is wrong with technology today. It is internet AIDS. Why the hell did google decide to fuck their entire developer base with that piece of shit SDK of theirs? I mean really? WHY THE FUCK DID THEY DO THAT!?!

You wanna know why the android market sucks? It's because google put a gun against their own marketability's head and pulled the trigger sending java clear through its brain pan and covering all of us customers in what can best be described as a the world worst idea delivered as a projectile pulp.

Fuck you google. Fuck your SDK team. And Fuck the piece of shit that approved this. I hope you all die in fires, watching as your loved ones are devoured by walruses.

SymbianOS Seems fairly flexible

http://developer.symbian.org/

You can use Java, Flash, C, C++, some special Symbian C++ thing, Python, Ruby

Symbian fuckin' blows. Maybe MeeGo will catch on.

@nny there are plenty of languages running on top of the jvm today, like jruby, jpython, clojure and scala. I believe most of them have good java integration, so you could deal with java just in the outer layers of your apps (just when calling Android APIs), build some abstraction layers around them to make them feel more like one of the better languages and then use that language for most of your logic.

No java. None. Unacceptable. Java has no place on this earth and all if it's followers MUST be purged. The language is a plague. The only remedy is total and utter ruthless extermination of anything Java touches.

C++ :-(

After Java is purged, C++ is next!

True that. Objective-C is for the WIN. C++ is for anyone. C# is for the lose.

What's wrong with C++ Carpet? Yes I do understand it has a lack of data structures, but whatever. Code that shit on your own if you need to or import a library. And Chiken, your professor needs to STFU seriously. I had a professor who had a major hard on for Java and I called his ass out on it. Fuck that ho. Give me 15 points because you didn't include vector.h .... sorry that was another beef I had with him.

If I was in his class, I'd likely have killed him by now.

So my job may be looking for an Android developer from the inside. I am thinking about taking it and then killing myself half way through.
