    The new Mac Gemini app has a huge executable binary (128MB!). Took a peak at it and … it contains 1,856 Objective-C classes whose class name starts with Java.

    What in the world are they doing?

    So I had Gemini analyze Gemini. Looks like there’s a lot of shared Android code in there, but compiled to Objective-C and Swift.

    @ccgus @siracusa Funny how all these AI apps sound vibe-coded. 😂

        Well thanks to @sdpd, I think this answers the Java to Objective-C question: https://developers.google.com/j2objc

          @ccgus @siracusa to be fair, Google is a small company and doesn’t really have the resources to do a proper Mac app. We should start a fundraiser…

            @ccgus it's probably using j2objc or something.

                @heathborders @ccgus I still wonder how sth like this can actually work, mostly considering GC

                  @ccgus Sounds like they’re using Kotlin, maybe.

                            @ccgus Android is now a Swift target, but it's really kind of weird how it works. I'm still trying to figure it out. It wraps Swift code around Java https://www.swift.org/blog/exploring-the-swift-sdk-for-android/

                                  @i_am_fabs @ccgus I bet the J2ObjC usage is for the data modeling layer (so it's easily sharable with Android).

                                  J2ObjC doesn't provide any kind of UI code support, so the UI layer is probably still native SwiftUI.
