It's a rather standard affair to develop for and that means the price admission to develop for it is much lower and porting to it has many ways - C++, Qt, Python, etc. - to port to it.

Skeptical is okay. I'm personally very skeptical about Jolla. But at the same time, I'm also very happy they're there in a sector that was quickly dwindling to iOS and Android.

Jolla, BB10, Firefox OS... dude, those are the OS's that might never make a huge dent into the current iOS and Android steamroller, but they are there.

I hope they do well. And it's gonna take communities like this, full of developers that just don't think within the box, to make some inroads into the aforementioned competition.
I don't,know what efficiency you are talking about. My N9s were laggy and stuttering like a Parkinson disease inflicted old man. And this was a 1gb of RAM. Jolla can't deliver. That is why they got fired. Can the losers stage comeback, sure. I wish them all the luck and capable personnel they need.
