mojo

Flutter is build on top of the mojo. This exposes IPC interfaces to the devices. There are Java, Dart, C++, and I believe also go bindings for this. Not sure if this is in a usable state - but worth a look. https://github.com/domokit/mojo/tree/master/mojo/go https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/mojo-...

Had to search for what it is. https://github.com/domokit/mojo I doubt it is faster than Java ART for access to Android Frameworks. Call JNI from C++ it might have delays around 300ms or more per call.

Yes, exactly, there are silent projects like Mojo (https://github.com/domokit/mojo), Flutter, Mandoline (https://www.chromium.org/developers/mandoline) that whispers actually android is being folded into Chrome. Time will tell.

I think Android's formal future will be the guts of Chrome (Mojo) and Dart. Some heavy weight developers are frantically working on it. https://github.com/domokit/mojo https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine

Building an Android app with Sky is basically similar to using phonegap. i.e. You use HTML/CSS and web components, but it promises better performance and a more modern api. The codebase is a forked version of chromium, but with a lot of legacy web cruft removed. The DOM api is replaced with a new more modern api. CSS has some important performance bottlenecks removed. It also allows linking to off main thread code written in C++, Java, Go, JS, Python and Dart. Main thread code must be written in Dart. They are aiming for the performance of native, but with a development toolset similar to the web. IMHO a very worthwhile experiment. Edit: The specs here give an idea of what the system is/does. https://github.com/domokit/mojo/tree/master/sky/specs
