I was really excited. Until reading this.
- psnehanshu 3y agoWhy is that?
- voidr 3y agoReact Native is very unreliable and unproductive, you write your code in JavaScript, that then gets executed in a VM, that then calls some glue code that may or may not work reliably, when these don't work: good luck debugging it. React itself became quite a mess as well nowadays, it's becoming bigger and more bloated with each release. You can now very easily re-create the AngularJS hell in React. JavaScript doesn't scale in productivity and in terms of performance, TypeScript solves the productivity problem, but you still suffer a lot due to JavaScript's poor runtime performance characteristics.
- stakhanov 3y agoI hate JavaScript with a passion and wish there were better/more options for writing UIs these days, without getting sucked into it.
- realusername 3y agoPersonally, I like flutter a lot, its web story is subpar in my opinion but that's one of the only downsides for me. If you only need native platforms and/or just want to use the web target as an app demo, it's a good option, it feels very solid and productive
