> it's a quirky language From the blog post: > JavaScript’s deficiencies seem to impress everyone except JavaScript developers, for whom the aspects of JavaScript that I outlined above are not awful warts, they’re “quirks” or “gotchas” that you, not your language, have to be on the lookout for. I think his point is that calling JS "quirky" makes it sound benign, or even cute. However, JS's quirks are actually serious shortcomings compared to other languages. For native iOS and Android developers React Native has a huge intrinsic appeal, for all the reasons he outlined at the start of the post. It's really tempting. Plus, the enthusiasm and scale of the JS community can sometimes ovrshadow concerns non-JS devs have about the language. To me the post seems helpful. From my experience React Native will certainly not be all puppies and roses for people coming from Java, Swift or Obj-C.
