Why they wouldn't use React Native?

• t-writescode 2y ago
  * Facebook Messenger came out on Android in 2011 [0] * React Native came out in 2015 is written in C++, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, Kotlin [1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_(software) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_Native https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_Native So, even if they did use React Native, they still have 4+ years of code in the original language; and, React Native doesn't stop the use of Java

    Most importantly, why was Threads not written in React Native?

      Because Instagram wasn't, and Threads is pretty much a copy pasted Instagram codebase (for good reasons).

    I'm pretty sure wg0 was being facetious.
