@streakmachine There are still a lot of good arse.tlds available. Just saying…
@japchap I have done both but mostly Android simply because we are lacking Android developers and I am a developer chameleon. :-)
The list of apps I have worked on can be found on my software site, https://pekonen.cc/software/. Then I have personal projects for 10C, but those are still in the very early phase of development.

@hazardwarning Just yesterday I read an interview of a Finnish business guru who made a fortune with his businesses in which he said that although making money for the company owners is one of the tasks the company management has, it should not be the priority. The company has a responsibility to the society it operates in and to the employees working for that company. Luckily I work in a company that does exactly that.
@hazardwarning For fuck's sake, people still think that way? Also, I'm sorry that it is coming to this.
Damn you qwerty keyboard and the English language! Why do i and o need to be next to each other in the keyboard layout and why both in and on are valid prepositions in English?
@japchap @hazardwarning As an Android developer, that is the source of most frustration I have. There are some cool things in newer versions of Android (Lollipop and newer), but there are still some not-so-old devices that run really old version of the OS. On iOS, I can count on iOS 9 being supported by almost all devices actively used out there. Think about it, iPhone 4S, which was released 5 years ago, can run iOS 9 just fine. An Android device released in 2011 most probably can't run Marshmallow.

@hybotics Good question. Maybe none, maybe some. We'll see. But I like the fact that in Kotlin everything does not need to be a class. Which is frustrating sometimes.
@larand Excellent points. I truly hope that sensible people will resist the stupidity that may rise.
@larand I find it depressing how those ultra-religious people (all-around the world, to be fair) seem to pick and choose parts of their religion that they want to impose to others while ignoring other, more important teachings.

@hybotics I meant that I can now implement Android stuff quite fast with Java and that I feared that making Kotlin code interoperate with Android frameworks and libraries would slow me down. That fear seems to be unnecessary, Kotlin is (almost) 100% compatible with Java, so I can keep up the pace.
