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 Sounds like they’re using Kotlin, maybe.

@heathborders @ccgus I still wonder how sth like this can actually work, mostly considering GC
@helge looks like j2objc has heuristics to implement MRR

@ccgus “Write once, run anywhere!”
@DavidAnson @ccgus I think the term is “write once, suck everywhere”

@ccgus Why am I not surprised? Everything Google does is trash.

@ccgus @bugaevc cough https://developers.google.com/j2objc cough

@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/

@ccgus I feel like everything Google does is cursed.

Or "Write once, run away very very fast."

@ccgus this did not age well.
@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.

@cdoncarroll @ccgus he did not say SwiftUI … he said native swift … and so it’s not
