Looks in concept very similar to React Native. So now we have React Native, Lynx.js (ByteDance/Tiktok) and Valdi all based on React. I think competition is good for devs. But not sure if any of those will create ecosystem and community big enough and fast enough to React Native.
React Native grew a lot this year and a lot of things got or will be improved and copied from Lynx or Valid:
- 3 modes of compilation (AOT, JIT) from Valdi will be in static hermes (RN) in coming months.
- native binding generation -> RN already have such official generator and also nitro/nitrogen, they also working on Node-API
- executing animation and JS code in different thread (Lynx.js) -> worklet library in RN from swmansion
- tailwindcss support (Lynx) -> uniwind in RN land.
I think Lynx.js maybe have better shot at React Native since they want to support other frameworks instead of only React.
- pzo 11mo agoafter small digging they have Full VSCode debugging [0] which is nice. RN have Radon IDE but it's a paid sub. What's interesting Valdi using Hermes (the one from RN) so maybe there is a way to retrofit this to work for RN. Wondering if they did AOT and JIT by themselve or they using static hermes branch or using only hermes in dev mode.
