Can someone from the Google team comment on what's going on - https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/07/kotlin-is-now-googles-pref...

>Android development will become increasingly Kotlin-first,” Google writes in today’s announcement

>Google today announced the first preview of Jetpack Compose, a new open-source UI toolkit for Kotlin developers who want to use a reactive programming model similar to React Native and Vue.js.

This is massively confusing. Do we invest in Kotlin ...or do we invest in Dart ? Remember I'm talking about developing nations like India - where startups like ours invest in training college graduates . These guys can't afford 10$ courses on udacity and Coursera.

But even if it was not India, having this parallel signalling for Android based startups is very confusing. Atleast Apple was very clear about Swift .

Where will Android be in 2 years : Dart or Kotlin ?
