Comment on Python for Androidparent

Comments

There's been some Jython ports to Android in the past, but all are abandoned as far as I know. There were some problems with performance as well and the dynamic nature of Python.

I know there's a maintained JRuby project[1] for Android though.

And there's also Myrah, a Ruby-like language that can produce Dalvik bytecode. I've been meaning to try it out for several years, it looks pretty promising. It's basically typed Ruby.

Haven't heard of Mirah, but looks like it's still updated and maintained so that's a plus. http://www.mirah.org/
