Creating Android apps without Java

Question

I\'d like to start creating Android apps but I don\'t like Java. I read that scala can be used to do it. Are there another option?(Clojure?)

I\'m a Python/Django dev

Answer 1

for clojure development a useful tutorial: http://riddell.us/ClojureAndAndroidWithEmacsOnUbuntu.html

Clojure gets a LOT of benefit from android-2.2's JIT compiler and has not really been widely adopted on previous versions.
