There’s a huge incentive for the company to invest in this. Being multi-platform has a huge cost to small and big companies alike, as the blog post was alluding to. The way I see it: in the early days of the web, JavaScript was very slow and browsers were operating on weak CPUs. But there was a turning point and suddenly JavaScript was now fast enough and Web 2.0 was born. A similar thing is happening with React Native. It is kind of slow on older phones, and it felt very kludgy when it was first released. But things have gotten better and most important of all: phones have gotten substantially faster. You still have to learn how to make high performance React Native apps, compared to React in the browser where it’s more forgiving. But this is no different than native. So I think there is reason to believe it has gotten to a point where this could be a long term decision.
