That's a bit oversimplification. First of all, writing in JavaScript doesn't make the app easier to clone, the programming language has very little effect on the easiness of cloning. Secondly, even if an application can be re-implemented quickly, doesn't mean one cannot make money from it. Twitter can be implemented in a single weekend, but that doesn't mean the Twitter-clone will be profitable.

- al2o3cr 13y ago"First of all, writing in JavaScript doesn't make the app easier to clone" Yep, shipping the source code for your entire application IN the application doesn't make it any easier to clone. Somebody better tell that to the Phonegap users who are dealing with knockoffs: http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/17/ripoff-apps-plague-some-ios-developers/ http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/17/ripoff-apps-plague-some-ios-d...
