[reKon]

haven't watch a thing, but someone please tell me if they are trying to make this project volta reborn so I can laugh at Google

 

[Kthulhu]

Wow, those are some cool features for crappy developers to ignore.

Looking at you Snapchat and Facebook.

 

[oti]

I have no idea what this means but people sure like this Kotlin thing.

 

[pxleyes]

JetBrains!

 

[Zombie James]

So long, Java. Huge news.

 

[snacknuts]

Never heard of Kotlin but I'm glad people are excited.

 

[kami_sama]

I have no idea what this means but people sure like this Kotlin thing.

It means not using Java anymore, that's good enough for me.

 

[Kthulhu]

I have no idea what this means but people sure like this Kotlin thing.

Yeah, someone want to explain this?

 

[kiguel182]

Should I learn Kotlin? Never even heard of it.

 

[jokkir]

Time to learn Kotlin

 

[Weckum]

I have no idea what this means but people sure like this Kotlin thing.

Development lead Andrey Breslav has said that Kotlin is designed to be an industrial-strength object-oriented language, and a "better language" than Java, but still be fully interoperable with Java code, allowing companies to make a gradual migration from Java to Kotlin

Basically saying 'screw you, Java', which is good.

 

[Jokab]

I have no idea what this means but people sure like this Kotlin thing.

Previously Java was the only programming language for writing Android apps, and a lot of people kind of hate Java. Any other thing is good news

I'm at work and can't watch, can someone break down the Photos changes that were discussed earlier that had people worried about automatically sending pictures? I'm just not clear on what's being changed/added.

 

[Mr. RPG]

lol

Android O needs more features.

 

[Kinitari]

I have no idea what this means but people sure like this Kotlin thing.

It's a significantly better syntax for development on Android, a lot less nonsense. People have been using it a lot over the last year or so - and if you include rxKotlin, it's really changed the best practices of Android development

This means kotlin no longer needs to be transpiled to java first to create Android apps, which should be a huge performance boost, and eventually will allow a complete decoupling from java.

every minute

 

[NetMapel]

Fuck woman get off the stage

🤔🤔🤔

 

[Chris R]

Please sell these 3rd world phones in the USA google ;_;

 

[Brandwin]

lol

Android O needs more features.

Theres plenty more! They just don't have the time to tell us today...

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Wow that felt brief :S

 

[Ambient80]

Are the closed captions like, ultra behind for anyone else? It's like a minute delay sometimes lol.

[mattp]

wasn't android one supposed to be for low powered devices?

 

[kiguel182]

So can I install O on my first gen moto g? Please?

 

[Baroquemantic]

So can I install O on my first gen moto g? Please?

Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, Pixel C, Pixel, Pixel XL

This Android Go part is smart AF for countries that don't have fast internet connections.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Oh shit! Kotlin!!!!!!!

I'm actually super excited, Kotlin is pretty boss.


EDIT: Fuck forgot I'm not watching the live stream lol

 

[The Albatross]

I've got a Pixel XL... wonder if I should sign up for the beta.

Not a lot of thrilling stuff, most of it is around sharing.

First, Google has a new AI algorithm with photos that utilizes a service (or app) called Lens. Lens will continue the smart integration of Photos. A lot of the lens integration looks very strong, like one photo of someone behind a fence smartly removed the fence from the photo.

Sharing has been improved and powered by AI recommendations for sharing photos with people. You can also setup specific people to automatically get all of the photos you take of particular people or things (like your dog, kids, etc).

Other things like intelligent location awareness seemed neat.

And then Google is making something called PhotoBook which is a physical product generated by Google photos and available to purchase for $10.

Most of the photos stuff was underwhelming compared to what they've done with photos in the past, mostly seems like dot release type stuff... But still good improvements. Just nothing like last year's announcement with unlimited high res storage, Google assistant, etc.

 

[Somnid]

Kotlin is just a JVM language. It's like trading C# for F#.

 

[louiedog]

So can I install O on my first gen moto g? Please?

You'll most likely be able to put LineageOS based on O on your first gen Moto G. That phone continues to be well supported for custom ROMs.

As far as I know, Lens isn't tied to the smart removal that you mention, it's mostly about AR object recognition, with annotation and actions.

Really? I need to try it. I could use a device with O but I don't want to spend money lol if this runs well on low end devices it should be able to run it.

 

[nullset2]

Yeah, someone want to explain this?

A Java alternative that works with the same platform. It should be seamless to move stuff over to Kotlin. It's easier to program in, you end up writing less code, and it's more functionally-oriented than Java, which is nice.

This is not groundbreaking but definitely nice.

Stuff

Thanks fam

Thumbnail previews, huh 😏

 

[Mr. RPG]

So I guess we aren't going to get a name for Android O today.

 

[Kinitari]

HERE WE GO, AR BITCH

Hey it's this guy. Best speaker

So apps are basically easier to develop?

 

[DiscoShark]

This is what I was waiting for.

 

[yyzjohn]

Will this keynote never end?

 

[e_i]

VR!

 

[Reversed]

Integrated translate is pretty cool. I'm happy with what they have done with gboard so far.

 

[Kensation]

Daydream for S8!

 

[Toki767]

Will this keynote never end?

Last year's was over 2 hours long.

 

[Kinitari]

Yeah, and to feed off of that, it allows for different development paradigms, functional programming is now a lot more viable.

 

[sirap]

Awww yeah S8 support

 

[jokkir]

No S7 update for Daydream???

Fuck that
