is anything new happening on clojure-android?

I haven’t really looked into it in a long time. I still like the idea, but I haven’t had the chance to work with it. Quite a bit has changed since I first started working on Clojure/Android. In particular: 1. React Native is a thing, and you can use ClojureScript with it. It’s been successfully used by many teams. 2. The Java tooling around Android has gotten significantly better. Things that used to be Clojure-only, like dynamic reloading, now can be done using Java. 3. Java has evolved as a language since Java 6. On the other hand, Clojure has not really improved in terms of startup time, and this is not looking like it is going to change anytime soon.
