How is it better than RN though (haven’t read much about it)? Can it overtake RN? Why would I learn Dart when JS is more widespread and a better investment?

Why would I learn Dart when JS is more widespread and a better investment?
- enyo 8y agoBecause Dart is similar to JS, easy to learn, and better in regards to performance, tools and security. JS is a mess, just look at the equality operators and the fact that you can manipulate classes like String, etc...
- k__ 8y agoI don't know. Seems like astro-turfing to me. Dart isn't much better than JS (as TS or Reason are) so switching doesn't give you too much gains, but a smaller eco-system. Also, the canvas approach of Flutter feels kinda backwards. I think it's artifically hyped by Google. React will be much simpler with hooks and the RN updates will improve native inter-op. But yeah, that's just my take and I'm often wrong with predictions xD
- curyous 8y agoThe release version runs native code, so is faster and uses less power.
- akmarinov 8y agoBut RN also compiles to native code? How’s it different?
