The high level source code – yes. But in the end almost everything (except one app implemented as an electron app) will be compiled to native code. They're using multiple forks of react native for various platforms – that's what he basically means by "written in JS".
- ptx 8y agoAre they actually compiling JavaScript (or TypeScript) ahead of time to native code? I was under the impression that AOT compilation wouldn't work well for JS because of its dynamism, hence the JIT compilers in all the web browsers. Or are they merely compiling TypeScript to JavaScript and minifying/bundling/etc. the source code, the way React Native normally works?
- iliaznk 8y agoIt's actually a bit confusing, in that thread he says everything is compiled to native, though...
