I'm not planning to argue platforms here any further, either. I pretty much said what I needed to say.

I'm not saying Amazon should drop Java for Qt this instant... they obviously have been working on the SDK a while, so they should release what they've got.

There's nothing to stop them from providing both, though. They'd get maybe 50-75% more developers that way. After a while, it'd become clear what platform the developers preferred.

Android uses Java (sort of). Even with that, they saw enough use for a C/C++ SDK (or NDK, as they call it).
