The holy grail would still seem to be the opposite: writing native iOS apps in JavaScript.
- sotojuan 10y agoGetting closer with React Native.
- tootie 10y agoThere's already NativeScript and React Native.
- sixstringtheory 10y agoI haven't tried Reactive Native or other options, but my gut tells me it's less safe to write in Javascript than Swift. What would be an advantage that outweighs that?
- AndrewGaspar 10y agoLess safe in what sense?
- danappelxx 10y agoType safety & all that jazz. Swift is a much more powerful language than javascript (and typescript) is.
- hellofunk 10y agoSome are already dong this with Apple's JSCore.
- themihai 10y agoWhy? JS is crap compared to Swift. There are various technologies that allow you to do that anyway(i.e nativeScript)
- rimantas 10y agoThat's a poisonous chalice not the holy grail. How can someone to prefer JS to Swift is beyond my comprehension. Or is that "if the only tool you have is a hammer" situation?
