The situation with MIPS seems intriguing. There were promises of Android MIPS devices for last year:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2601040/first-mobile-device-with-mips-64bit-processor-coming-in-2016.html State of MIPS regarding Android could be quite dead, if you can trust this discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4ofdkv/state_of_mips_plus_some_statistics/ I have stumbled upon mentions of different ARMv[number] discussions like this one: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/34958/what-are-the-minimum-hardware-specifications-for-android Teaching the basics of processor architectures is probably off-topic on the wiki page, but maybe there is a good introduction to processors like ARMv5 (minimum for Android) somewhere? If I develop for Android 4+, maybe I don't even need to understand processor architectures that much? The reason why I'm interested in using Go with Android is I just love the simplicity of the syntax of Go. I could use Go instead of C/C++ (I have programmed with C++) to add some security by accessing a database or something else (save some key/value pairs instead of using Java), if that's possible with Go + Android. What do you think about this approach? On Monday, May 1, 2017 at 9:05:04 PM UTC+3, Elias Naur wrote: > > I've updated the Wiki page.
