New Design Guidelines from Google

Did anyone actually see the 3 hour long Keynote from Google?
I started and had to jump 28 minutes before it started and then it was interesting BUT could not watch the whole thing.
However whatever I could manage seemed quite interesting from a design perspective. They are all moving towards the same that we have been using with Lua and Gideros, where each layer has a Z (which we do not track) but the principles are similar.
If Google provide an alternative to using Java and make it cleaner then I think Android has a good chance with more developers. If they can offer all of those deign items (materials as they call it, I thought they innovated a new Hardware per pixel detection and depth map) to a developer without doing anything it will be wonderful.
However till then it would be nice to have a similar library that creates all of that.
What do you think?

I want to be honest with you I have not even followed the E3 2014 (only football in my mind) :P
I've only read a press release on the BBC about your post and I rescued from that note, was that Google want to release a new "Android L" and Google want with it, integrate all the gadgets (mobile and wearables) that use its operating system.
Hopefully it'll smooth the way for the development of apps.
