As an Android developer during the first G1 era, I feel that Google was really taking advantage of the well established Java developer base.

Having developers already understand Java, was a huge thing for Android when it first came out.

So when you say:

> Wendy’s doesn’t ever use “supersize” in their promotions

IANAL, So I’m not sure Google didn’t do the same...

I also think Oracle is also not happy with that.

Right but what if the java API is nominally “secondary”: “oh use this Byzantine Android api we have ... but if you just treat it like java, it’ll guess what you mean, ruby-magic-method style”?
