@MastodonEngineering At least you're using Swift and Apple Frameworks on iOS... You should use Kotlin and Google libraries on Android as well.

@bladecoder @MastodonEngineering The main developer is known to have an issue with Kotlin and Google technologies in general: github.com/mastodon/mastodon-a
It's a shame, if you ask me, but in the end it all boils down to a matter of taste and preference. They are making their life harder and cutting themselves off some great potential candidates

@Xzan @MastodonEngineering I talked to him a bit in the past and he was very opinionated about this. I'm sure he would be happy to write everything in assembly code if he could and would not see any problem about it.
He seems to be the opposite of a team player which is a pity for an open social network like Mastodon.
