Who thinks about j2objc?

Question

Mobile development

Greetings! I came across the link arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/how... A cross-platform project is coming up, anyone have any thoughts about j2objc? Holivar is welcome)

Answer 1

If everything is very good with architectural issues, then you can try. The j2objc developers claim that it is possible to write business logic in Java, then translate it all into objC, which, in principle, is not without the right to life. I think that it is really possible to transfer work with all standard containers to NSFoundation-rails, which they probably do with success.
At the same time, j2objc does not and does not plan to support working with the UI. And this, in my opinion, is also quite correct. Quote:

J2ObjC does not provide any sort of platform-independent UI toolkit, nor are there any plans to do so in the future. We believe that iOS UI code needs to be written in Objective-C or Objective-C++ using Apple's iOS SDK (Android UIs using Android's API, web app UIs using GWT, etc.).

Thus, it is worth considering carefully whether this is right for you. IMHO, not the best choice in most cases.
