I was wondering about that as well. I've been fooling around with Android to get an idea what it is and if there is a way to avoid having to write Java when developing applications for it. The answer for this moment is 'no'. Although they use their own class libraries (similar to but different from SUN's), the Dalvik virtual machine and a bytecode fomat that differs from SUN's, they still stick to the Java syntax. And that is a bit disappointing in my eyes. Why not support a host of dynamic languages on top of the VM from the start? That would greatly increase the chances of Android if you ask me. Anyway, since Java (at least the syntax) is the only programming language on Android the only possible alternative, from Python's perspective, would be Jython. I know close to nothing about how Jython works internally (pointers welcome) and couldn't tell you if Jython can as easily be inplemented on top of Android's custom class libraries / the Dalvik VM. If it could, I'm sure it would create a killer environment for developers of mobile applications. Anybody here that can shed some light on this?
