Are jack and jill for android byte encoding compatible?
I just read a new blog post by @eric lafortune about Jack and Jill's new compiler on Android. http://www.saikoa.com/blog/the_upcoming_jack_and_jill_compilers_in_android
And since I'm intensively working on a lot of new technologies based on bytecode encoding for Android, I'm wondering if anyone has an idea if bytecode weaving will work with this new toolchain.

From the article mentioned:
Since the toolchain still supports both java source code and java bytecode, existing libraries can be used without issue. Even tools that generate or process bytecode during the build process , like Dagger, should be fine, with proper integration.
Bytecode weaving is just bytecode generation / processing, so I think the answer to your question is yes.

I'm curious about this, but it looks like Kotlin will be a second-class citizen with the new Jack and Jill compiler, unless JetBrains makes an explicit statement that it won't: Android N Java 8 (Jack Compiler) Features and Kotlin Interoperability
