Is it possible to use compiled PLs on Android?

Question

Android

I just had a thought in my head - interpreted PLs are slower, due to the need to compile it on the go, so what is the justification for using them on mobile platforms?

Answer 1

Maybe. For Android, you can write in C++. But Google doesn't seem to recommend it. About the advantages of the interpreted PL. The only thing that comes to mind is the isolation of the application layer from the system layer. Google can experiment with low-level components of the system without breaking the application interface for programmers. For the same reason, C# is handy for MS. You can, in principle, afford decent changes while leaving the same tools for applications.
