Calm down with that "Haha", all those native libraries powering Android are behind JNI walls, and even NDK code is obliged to make use of JNI to call into them.

Please do your own research on how AOSP is actually implemented.

> behind JNI walls, and even NDK code is obliged to make use of JNI to call into them.

What i originally told was "enable us to let create Android Applications entirely in Rust (including the GUI)" . Surely Google and AOSP projects can remove the restrictions that you mentioned and provide us alternative to Kotlin/Java ecosystem which is what i really want and hope them to do. Smartphones powered by Android are capable computers and freedom for App development is appreciated.

Please don't mention once again that "X is not implemented in AOSP. Y is required to make use of JNI calls into them". You know that this is superficial barrier and can be overcome/corrected if they wanted to.

If you want freedom for app development buy a Pinephone or Librem 5 device.

Android Brillo demise already proved that isn't what Google cares about.
