C'mon, stop writing Java for Android

I'm underwhelmed. At that level, I find the Java version more readable. (I know, I know, the horror.)

But to answer the question posed: Community. I started messing with Mirah, but there's just not much community yet. Any questions you have is a new one. And nobody knows the answer yet. That's fine if you like figuring things out and have time... But drop either of those and it's just a headache.

True, but as that community includes Charlie Nutter it has a serious leg up. :)

Still, I expect things to move fairly quickly, so the number first-time-asked questions will diminish and getting solid work done will increase.
