And I'm about to get stuck into the world of writing Android code.

Given the current situation with Java, I'm seriously tempted to just
bypass the Android Java variant and just write native mode code.

That has the _major_ advantage that non-architecture specific code
can be abstracted out into it's own library and easily reused on
something like a normal Linux box.
