- barefeg 4y agoHow does something like react native fit in the mobile world? Are there cases where it could be used instead of straight swift or kotlin?
- alexashka 4y agoIt's a niche thing people who don't know any better try to use and then get stuck, not wanting to re-write their codebase. For the most part, every dev shop has separate iOS and Android devs.
