Android 移植到C#

哇！“开发组在吃饭间冒出的一个疯狂的想法，是 将Android的源码翻译到C#。 Android将会从C#的性能特性如结构体（structures）、P/调用（P/Invoke）、真实泛型（real generics ）以及我们更加成熟的运行时等中受益。[...]它如此疯狂，我们决定尝试。于是我们开始了一个小型的专案工作组项目，致力于做一个从Android到 C#的机器翻译工作。我们称这一项目为XobotOS。”Android大部分的布局和控件现在都在C#中做好了。基准测试显示结果十分好，但是与我对这 份工作的欣赏程序相同的，是我对这一工作的担忧，就像事情从不好到更不好——从甲骨文的Java到微软的C#！

Wow. "One crazy idea that the team had at that dinner was to translate Android's source code to C#. Android would benefit from C# performance features like structures, P/Invoke, real generics and our more mature runtime. [...] We decided it was crazy enough to try. So we started a small skunkworks project with the goal of doing a machine translation of Android from Java to C#. We called this project XobotOS." Most of Android's layouts and controls are now in C#. The small benchmark is stunning, but as much as I admire the work, I'm wondering that this like going from bad to worse - from Oracle's Java to Microsoft's C#.
