React is <i>native</i>. 
It&#x27;s a JS interpreter on a separate queue rendering native UILabels and UIViews.
I&#x27;d say the concept is far more superior to UIKit which disgusts me, and I&#x27;ve worked with for almost seven years now. I honestly think React is the future, but for now we can try to stick with MVVM and RxSwift ;-).<p>I think you&#x27;re fundamentally not understanding how React (not just React-native) works.
