This is very exciting. Here is the APK I downloaded. And the associated discussion.

It even already seems to support stylus input which is very exciting seeing as there has been talk of porting RNote to Android.

    I read about Vala but a language that compiles to C seemed icky to me. I don’t know, maybe it solves all the issues that C has. Maybe I will give it a try one day.

      I think the saving grace is that you never actually see the C (it’s piped straight in to GCC), so it might as well not exist. C GObject code has a lot of boilerplate and I like to think that Vala is the programming language that GTK programmers are actually thinking in when they write their C. Vala is essentially a compression of the C code with less room for errors.
