kotlin might be a better choice - there's already projects like robovm (...bought & killed by MS), multi-os engine(intel-backed), and so on...

maybe 'was'? kotlin is the official google's recommendation for android now... (and kotlin can have multiple 'backends' -- e.g. build-to-java / native / web / etc)

if you scroll down:

citiesRef.where("population", ">", 100000).orderBy("country")

is invalid...

EDIT: sorry got confused & posted wrong example (population/population vs population / country)

Cloud Firestore has too many limitations on what it can't do...

e.g. can't query with age > 10 and have it sorted by age <-- (wrong example)

edit: see benjaminl's comment on the wrong example

CORRECT example: can't query with age > 10 and have it sorted by total_spent

why even assume you have to 'look at' the keyboard?

the keyboard can follow the user's view... along with the silhouette of the user's hand...

does this mean that all passwords for osx-encrypted-drives have been 'recoverable'? e.g. if I created an encrypted drive using El Capitan, someone else can crack my drive's password without even cracking a password-hash?

Or is there a bug also in high-sierra's 'create-encrypted-disk' functionality? (but not in lower-versions)
