How I wish Google purchases B4A and replaces it with A.S.

[AnandGupta]

Android Studio ahhh..
I had a chance to install and work on A.S. for my son's college project. It was as simple as making a TicTacToe game.
But what I see... a airplane dashboard to run a bicycle !!

I know Google will kill B4A if they ever touch B4A, so GOD forbid, but here I am banging my head and could not start writing the code properly.
The college do not understand or rather do not care (they even has Win7 os machine running), so no point in requesting them for B4A.

Maybe A.S. not that bad for experts here who came from it, but for me who is going from B4A to A.S., it feels hell !

I gave up, the group of students got help from ChatGPT (as unusual) and project was done.

I just searched "TicTacToe" on google and it showed me the game itself to play on the browser ! Well it so simple, but A.S. ??

You mean you want Google (Alphabet) to acquire B4A from Anywhere Software and make B4A as the official IDE instead of Android Studio?

Then the title should be ends with "and replace AS (Android Studio) with it (B4A)"
It looks confusing to me.

Yeah! as it will help Android developer around the world, at least from A.S. hell
But am afraid looking at Google's past, shutting down left and right. So do not want to dream it.

If only the School, Colleges, Offices start seeing benefits of B4A ! Hope.
