Joe Hewitt Rephrases His Earlier Statement on Android
Who knew that when Joe Hewitt of Facebook made a comment to the extent that developing for Android is “horrendous” it would turn into one of the biggest debates in the Android blogosphere. Except he didn’t actually quite say that, or so he has gone on to explain in a recent tweet clearing up that he meant the tools for developing for Android (specifically Eclipse, a Java development environment not exclusive to Android) are horrendous and that the OS is merely visually displeasing to him. But don’t worry too much, as he goes on to state, “on technical merits Android is great.”
We’re sure the debate will rage on, but it’s only fair to give the man a chance to defend himself. Carry on.
