Sounds like a perfect business opportunity. Offer the author, say $50,000/year in exchange for being allowed to port and support the editor on Linux/ARM and take all the licensing profits from there. You only need to sell a few $79 licenses compared to the number of Android devices there.

A complex resource-hungry IDE is just what the Android platform has been missing.

While you're at it, add Common Lisp support. That is literally the #1 request on the announcement.

Linux/ARM is not an end user software platform.

ST is a programmer's editor.

>Linux/ARM is bigger than iphone, apple, and dell combined.Android. It's sitting on a desk near you.

Most Android devices are sold free with contract or with low tier phones to people who don't care much about smartphones. As for Android tablets, they don't sell that well, period. That's the huge majority of Android users. A minor one is geeks like us, open source fans, etc, that prefer it to iOS. (And that still leaves tons of geeks preferring iOS).

If you need any proof that the majority of Android users are not that technical, just check these "relative number of active devices": http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

Half a year later, only 10 percent have the latest release. And over 50% are two releases behind.

Neither the majority not the minority of Android users are much likely to buy a programmers' editor for their Android phone or tablet.

You didn't even make it one whole sentence with a correct statement. You stink of an OSS troll in this thread.

There have been plenty of interest in Sublime Text 2 builds for Android, I've seen people ask about it for both the Exynos Chromebook and the jailbroken Surface RT.

Amazingly, I can use ALL of my desktop software (except VirtualBox) on Linux/ARM and it's just like using an Intel machine. The only thing missing are proprietary apps like ST that can't have an ARM build generate for it automatically.
