Oh really? Is this still a hangover from the Oracle lawsuit stuff?

I might give it a whirl and start replacing the easy stuff first. In my system the worst part is the Android app and anything that makes it easier to maintain in the long term is welcome.

Oracle has nothing to do with it, given that Kotlin and Android Studio are fully dependent on the JVM ecosystem.

If that was the reason Dart would have been a better option, but I bet the Android team is not that keen on having Fuchsia take away their party, hence JetPack Composer.

Google can say they get less bugs, and that's probably true, but I'm sure it was partly a strategic hedge in case they lost the lawsuit with Oracle as well.
