Asking out of ignorance, is there anything wrong with NewPipe rn?
The codebase is in Java.
I'm sorry but that is really the dumbest argument that I've ever heard. How in the world does that affect the user when it's compiled anyways? If you want to modify the app then just do it in kotlin. They are interoperable
What's wrong with that?
A good portion of Android itself is written in Java, and is not expected to get ported to Kotlin any time soon
I'm curious, why is kotlin interesting here ?
Kotlin is just java with identity issues. "No, I am nothing like my parents, they suck and I don't. Now shut up and eat my coroutines"
