Maybe we should treat Android API like an x86 processor (no one writes x86 assembly except compiler writers) and let the "compilers" like React Native reduce the mental strain.
- enos_feedler 6y agoThere is no need to wrap the Android API in yet another Android API. This effort is already happening with AndroidX (Jetpack aka support library). The goal here is to reduce fragmentation and perform higher level functions easier. React Native solves a different thing (cross platform compatibility). Jetpack may be a good temporary solution, but there is no reason why the core APIs, the ones that sit between the hardware and 3P apps, can't just be better.
