An interesting experience! Answers covered a wider range of topics than I expected.

Pretty sure that was exactly why you asked it. Why else would you ask if a site is available in the US or not? Why wouldn't it be?

Sometimes you get the impression that the information available on the web site is not commonly known in the USA.
But that might be moving into politics, which we are not supposed to do.

It's just some numbers. They don't really mean much. You can't just straightly compare one number to another.

But if you explicitly emphasize numbers that make a significant share of the readers exclaim: But that's not what I heard on TV last night! ... then it has suddenly turned into politics.

Please, some recommendations on Android development in languages that do not impose the class keyword.
I need development tools and a language that has bindings to the Android programming API equal in rights to the Java programming language.
The problem is that I picked The Corona SDK and I liked it very much after working with one or two examples. When it came time to do what I really want, a file explorer, it became obvious that The Corona SDK doesn't have access to the file API of Android. It could use only some sand boxed storage for persistence.
To be quite specific, the win32 API is C native, but all you have to do to program win32 applications in Pascal with equal rights and power is to have the Pascal versions of the equivalent include files a C programmer uses to program in Windows.
I would be happy to learn of such a programming environment in a language like: C, Go (Dart is out of the question), Rust... Something that can deal with objects, but doesn't involve classes.
Thanks

What is your objection to using an object oriented language like Kotlin, Java or C# to build Android apps?

Assembly certainly does not make you free from responsibility

Glad to see you back.   Trust you had a wonderful vacation.

Almost didn't come back.  Still undecided.
Unfortunately, I like trying to help people so I spend time in QA.

I have been a member for a long time and I decided I will play by the rules in order to stay here. It is that important to me.
That is not to say I don't like to be censored or punished for speaking my mind, but this is the wrong site to be doing that anyhow. I can always go to 4chan and piss people off there with ZERO repercussions. lol.

Do you know of an assembly development environment for Android?

This is a Programming Question
This is not appropriate for the Lounge!(See the Posting Rules)
Please revert to the appropriate forum!

I guess i got so used to seeing questions like this on the lounge that I made a mistake.
My apologies.

Ignore. You didn't ask what we define as "a programming question"; you asked about something "related to a software developer's life", which is exactly what the Lounge is here for.
"I like this, I don't like that" != "How do I code this for my homework assignment"
If you had asked a programming question, more than one person would have asked you not to, and (usually the first of them) would have pointed out where you should have asked it.

You can use the NDK to program in C++ and can probably get away with mostly writing C if you do; but if your actual objection is that Android apps run in a highly sandboxed environment so will anything written using the NDK.
The only way you're going to get desktop level access is if you root your phone, and load a custom modified version of android that you've ripped a shitton of stuff out to it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would like to know of a tutorial or a book about the Kotlin programming language that doesn't treat Kotlin as an alternative to Java.
Something for warming up the size and structure of "The C Programming Language" or "Think Python" and something more detailed the likes of "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days".
The meaning of "not as an alternative to Java" is: Java preferably not to be mentioned in the book at all. Not even as a bad example.
Thank you.

A look in Wikipedia yields:
Quote: Kotlin (/ˈkɒtlɪn/)[2] is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference. Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of its standard library depends on the Java Class Library,[3] but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise. Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM). Language development costs are borne by JetBrains, while the Kotlin Foundation protects the Kotlin trademark.[4]
It would be fair to say, under the above circumstances, that what you ask for is impossible - by design.
