Google Purchases French Optimization Company FlexyCore To Improve Android For $23 Million

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/22/google-purchases-french-optimization-company-flexycore-to-improve-android-for-23-million/

 

 

A report in L'Expansion claims that Google has finalized the acquisition of FlexyCore, an optimization company based in Rennes, France, for 16.9 million Euros (just over $23 million USD).

I haven't been able to find any quantified information about FlexyCore's Android improvements, but a Google France representative said that the team has already been integrated into Google's mobile arm, so there must have been something substantial in there.

Hmmm, wasn't Linaro Android doing the same thing essentially?

If anything I suspect Google will slowly shy away from what is basically a java like back end to something more solid and not a resource hog: like C++.

i always hated the fact that android is using a huge pile of "JAVA" :/

many hate the fact that they are using that instead of a faster alternative

but JAVA is the most well known and android was  very small when it started so they wanted to grab and many people as they could and java was the answer

 

btw this might interest @ionbasa and you
