Especially since Google hasn't updated its Java language much lately. I think the solution for Google is to deprecate Java and start using Go. That would solve more than one problem for them.
There are a bunch of rumors that Google will announce expanded GoLang support on Android at IO. What that means I'm not sure and I can't find the link for it now. It was a somewhat credible source but not one I'd bet the farm on or anything. I suspect if anything is announced it would be GoLang ndk support but we can dream and hope for more. A python to Davlik compiler would be a very interesting move also.
