Nice work.

I am starting to think Google will leave Java language support at Java 6 level, or eventually offer full native support, instead of the half solution that the NDK currently offers.

Looking forward to this year's Google IO to see if there will be any change at that level.

It's not impossible for Google to work out a licensing deal with Oracle, but I'd just as soon expect them to come up with their own LLVM-based language implementation or announce LLVM support for one they've already developed, given that they added Clang (and thus, LLVM) support to NDKv8 in November 2012.

That is exactly what I have been thinking as well.

I'd love seeing decent support for Go on Android.
