A source within Google has told Android Authority that Google plans to basically turn Chrome OS into Android.

    Does that mean we’ll start seeing desktop apps like IDEs running in Android? How are you going to develop python on android? A linux container / VM?

    Non-web applications on ChromeOS already run in containers. Developer mode (or however ChromeOS calls it) is just installing Debian in an LXC container.

    That’s going to be so wasteful.

    Have you ever tried browsing the web using Chrome? THAT’S wasteful on resources. A command line-only container for Python development is nothing by comparison.
