Dear.all,
I just read an article (on a paper magazine, so no link available)
about Android.  As I understand, Android applications are executed by
Dalvik, a specially-tailored Java VM and that there is a converter
from Java VM to Dalvik.  Since jgnat translates Ada to JVM... The idea
of being able to write Android applications in Ada is too
attractive... Do you believe that it is too ambitious a goal to try to
bring Ada to the Android world?  (I have also a nice acronym with
minimal clashes: A4A :-) :-) :-)
