I direct you to my final statement in my original post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4998697 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4998697): > Edit: just for the record, I'm not necessarily trying to refute all or some of the OP's points. I think the original article was poorly written, and the case for C# was poorly made. Hence my "let's play this game" comment. RE: "This is horribly mistaken in more than two ways." Not all code is created equal. That 30% that needs to be rewritten for each device could be difficult to tune for each platform. Native widgets in iOS do not work the same as native widgets in Andoid. Unless there is some magical abstraction layer (which doesn't appear to exist), you're potentially rewriting the most difficult code for each platform. But again, please see my original post. In my original post, I said the focus of the original article should have been the potential for reuse across platforms - but it was glossed over in a disappointing 3 sentences.
