> Surely it's easier to get a basic JVM running on the iOS?
Gah, I'm not sure how you'd do that and still be able to deploy an application to the iOS app store. I would imagine cross compiling Swift would be orders of magnitude easier.
Oh I hadn't seen that one, that's actually pretty neat. Their pricing is...interesting though. Zero company support at all for the solo package which seems insane to me but other than that it's pretty cool. I wonder how well it works and how it supports third party Java libraries (if at all).
Sure that's fair I was mostly commenting with porting the JVM versus bypassing it all together. I'd love to see more commercial support for compiling Java and other languages to native just so they can be more portable.
