"This is not true."
"Blood Donations, Crisis Response, Privacy Shortcuts, Access Your Information, Wellness Checks are recent projects in the main app mentioned in F8 keynote that use RN. (The whole Oculus Go mobile app as well.) More to come. RN hasn’t been used yet in News Feed but that may change."
"I’m not remembering any [teams] that moved away (but there may be some; dozens of teams have used RN so it’s hard to track them all). But you’ll find diehard native devs who dislike RN at any medium or large co, including Facebook."

- chrisco255 8y agoAre you kidding me? Random dude on Twitter who's quoting some unknown friend of a friend who knows someone who heard something gets more credit than the engineering manager at Facebook? As she said, maybe one or two teams at Facebook moved away from using it but they're heavily invested in it and intend on expanding it's usage. Honestly with all the work going into ReasonML (and Reason React) I wouldn't be surprised if they came up with a way to do Reason React Native, since Reason can be compiled to native. But seriously giving credit to this FUD / fake news on front page of HN is just awful.
