That’s right. I’m a professional plugin developer. I’ve got my hands in both worlds, making dart APIs into the Obj-c/Java bridge where I’m implementing native APIs. And several universes as well...I do plugins for React Native and Co

Dart isn’t difficult to get productive with in a couple of days if you have experience with Java or Typescript.

I’ve been using RN since the beginning. I grokked Flutter / Dart in a couple days in September. The development experience with Flutter is really excellent, I’ve found. Laying out UI is really nice and easy. I really like it.

I make Cordova, React Native, NativeScript and now Flutter plugins for a living. I’ve been using RN since it was born and I use it every day. Flutter has a superior developer experience in my opinion. Dart was a breeze to pick up.

I'm pretty confident that residential real-estate activity (people selling houses to each other) in major urban centres (eg: YVR, GTA) eclipses that of mining towns.

Certainly not all that construction is related to real-estate. Still real-estate as a % of GDP eclipses "mining, Oil & Gas". http://www.investorsfriend.com/canadian-gdp-canadian-imports...

Don’t forget “Mighty Jack”, which leads into the Zita series. I like all books by Raina Telgemeier, as well. I read these graphic novels to my 3 and 6 year-olds, over and over.

>requiring a Mac No kidding. If you hope to develop apps for iOS, you better have a machine with the corresponding build tools. I make a number of Cordova plugins. Many devs without a Mac often use PhoneGap Build as their dev build ser

I made an open source lib for Cordova (eventually ported to React Native and others). I found I'd gained a number of users with few contributing back, so I forked my own project, closed the source into compiled and encrypted binaries.

Cap gains are taxed lower because it's already taxed money being invested. In addition, it's a reward for risking your money by investing it into the economy (no, this money is not "out of circulation")

Utterly false. Staying alive has nothing to do with React Native or Cordova or any particular framework. It's about implementing the native APIs that allow that behaviour. I'm the author of a couple of modules that allow your RN
