If Scala can give me a way to abstract all the wacky Activity/Intent/Service stuff, get around incompatibilities between Android 1.5/1.6/2.1/2.2/2.3/3.0, work around bugs in various hardware platforms, provide me a usable GUI layout tool, and maybe even make my simulator start a wee bit faster .. I'm yours pal. Otherwise I'll be sad because I'll just be pretending that I'm programming in the future.
