I think people should be paying more attention to the core concept of React Native, which is having a view layer that is completely native and a bridge that connects to a javascript engine. People bitch about electron which is essentially a browser in an app window (React Native is NOT that), the concepts of React Native solves a lot of the performance problems of Electron, which I think the electron team should seriously consider implementing.

There’s no reason we couldn’t implement React in Swift and get a lot of the benefits of both approaches with few of the downsides. We wouldn’t have the fast iteration time but it could still be a great option.

That is indeed pretty awesome, but wouldn't it be even better were it a better language than JavaScript being bridged to? I'm thinking Lisp, or Python, or TCL, or pretty much anything other than INTERCAL or JavaScript.
