ART to Permanently Replace Dalvik in the next version of Android

Android ART

 

You probably are using it right Now... The Android Runtime [ART] which Google introduced for testing purposes with its release of KitKat last year has now fully replaced the Dalvik virtual machine in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code. This means you should expect the next version of Android to come with ART and only ART, Dalvik is essentially dead from this point on.

The change has been spotted in two commits made recently to the AOSP code. One of those removes Dalvik from master branch, while the other switches the default runtime compiler to ART. The use of ART should thus result in faster app start times, as well as better performance overall though whether these improvements will be noticeable to end-users remains to be seen.
