Why Did Google Get Android Development So Wrong?

Rather low-content post criticising Android development without really saying why. Briefly alludes to Python's supposed beauty, and ends with a trite Einstein saying. Please try harder.

Rather than why, I'd rather wonder how it came to that. It's not like Google obfuscated its SDK intentionally.

(I'd also like to know what sucks exactly, since I know next to nothing about Android development.)

I would say that Xamarin framework is much more better than Kivi and you can write a lot of shared code in it.

Anyway, these articles are bullshit. It is great to use Xamarin if you know how to develop i.e. at least Android and iOS in native code (Java, Obj-c or Swift). But do not think that Kivi or Xamarin are magic sticks.

Oh yeah, that Einstein quote. Really? Try to dig into Theory of relativity or Photoelectric effect. That "opposite direction" of Einsteins is pretty complex so please, do not use it as excuse for your laziness.

"I have to learn another language for Android development, therefore it's bad!"

Kivy is awesome. It's a pity the blog post is mostly a flame bait instead of an in-depth exploration of Kivy awesomeness.

Thing is complicated and sucks, even the mighty Carmack says that. Present silver bullet that makes thing easy and smooth.
