I used to favor the web for the same reasons but the churn in web technology is at least as bad in mobile. The knowledge I had three years ago is almost useless now. And on top of that you have to deal with a platform that is really a big pile of quick hacks that was never intended for building complex and performant applications.
- novok 3y agoIronically mobile has been one of the most stable api platforms to develop against in my entire career, especially in iOS. New libraries and languages are mostly iterative and make sense to support a new feature.
- bobajeff 3y agoI don't use frameworks or compile to js languages. I've only learned the plain html, css, js and DOM APIs. I have the same reservations about React and Typescript as I do these mobile APIs. Then again my use of these things is that of a hobbyist so I have a choice in these things.
