Android uses Java.....? No wonder it's so laggy.
Android on flagship phones hasn't been laggy in years. If anything, my galaxy S7 edge is smoother and less laggy than my ipad pro 12.9.....there is animation lag all over the latest iOS.

Yeah, it's very popular and is used for a broad range of applications (usually client, web servers, and scripts). And, IMO, Python 3 is the most consistent, well-thought-out, and fully-featured programming language out there. It supports all the major programming paradigms very nicely, so you aren't locked into one.Python seems to be the suggestion from most developer friends too. And are programmers such dangerous people?![]()
I can't imagine why Google would choose Swift. Swift contains a lot of language constructs to make it interoperable with Objective C, which would be totally useless for Java. This in contrast with f.e. Jetbrains' Kotlin (https://kotlinlang.org/) which is designed to work with Java. Google already uses the Jetbrains IDE as the basis for Android Studio, so they wouldn't have to create a new language plugin for their IDE.
Hmm, lets see what happened to webkit before we rejoice Google might adopt Swift.
I seem to recall Safari being called the IE of today after Google messed with webkit.
You be the judge.

A serious question for all you guys.
I want to start coding for hobbies sake. Where should I start? Any pointers?
First, choose a platform to code on. This will lead you towards your languages of choice.
iOS? Choose Swift.
Android? Choose Java.
HTML5? Choose HTML/Javascript/CSS and Java.
Mac? Choose Swift.
Windows? Choose C++

Google turns the WWW into a bloated mess that takes all your CPU and RAM to load a simple webpage, while sending 20MiB down the wire. And it's like they're making standards up as they go; webpages sometimes only work in Chrome from some bogus HTML5-related reason (looking at you, MegaUpload). It's like what MSFT used to do with IE to screw the other browsers over.Google actually contribute quite positively to web technologies.
Yeah, I gave up on spelling anything correctly on my laggy iOS 9 keyboard. I don't know if Android has gotten better (used to be horrible), but iOS has definitely gotten a lot worse.Android on flagship phones hasn't been laggy in years.
