Why I'm not a React Native developer
This article raises so much unfounded FUD it's hard to believe the author is serious.<p>1. Uncertain Roadmap - Does anyone seriously doubt FB's commitment to RN? When they themselves dogfood it? Or is it more likely they are just too busy making progress (since as the author points out they release every 1-2 weeks) to release a multiyear ROADMAP?<p>2. Patents - Is anyone here planning on suing FACEBOOK? Who amongst us has the team of lawyers to undergo that? This is for 99.999% of people not a legitimate concern. This is an RMS concern.<p>3. Javascript - New versions of Javascript address the vast majority of this. Type errors? Use well supported Typescript or Flow<p>4. Dependencies - This is a result of the Javascript communities overly enthusiastic packaging efforts. This is not an apples to apples comparison, but of all the cons mentioned, sure this is legit.<p>5. Alternatives - ...and Windows Phone? Seriously? I was rooting like hell for MSFT, but this is just not a thing. I'd rather cover 99.6% of users twice as fast than 99.999 of users painfully using Appcelerator
