Re: Although it's Google

Google is unlikely to adopt Swift for Android because it has barely adopted it for iOS owing to terrible internal build tools: they're just not particularly equipped for client software, and especially not for anything that doesn't use the same compilers and libraries as their usual back-end. That flows against Apple's desire tightly to control and to bind the build tools and the IDE.

So internal familiarity with Swift is very low.
