Discussion on: Java died for Android ?

I wouldn't necessarily call it dead, but I would definitely call it/predict a decline. With languages like Flutter+Dart and Kotlin, Android dev is just (objectively) more enjoyable without the use of Java.

I personally would think that Java on Android would continue because a lot of students generally learn Java first (as a result of academia). When those students want to try exploring, it'd sometimes make sense to hop into Android since they'd have the necessary background to build upon, rather than starting from a clean slate.
