@andy_matuschak you think it’s worthwhile for iOS devs to learn JS to use it (once it’s ready)? Any reason we couldn’t see a Swift version?
I say with confidence as a former UIKit author: React's model for the UI layer is vastly better than UIKit's. React Native is a *huge* deal.

@payco Sure, you should learn JS anyway.

@andy_matuschak Related: What's your opinion of AsyncDisplayKit? -
@castirony An improvement on UIKit's model in that it emphasizes isolated input data but more complex than I'd like. Still worth using.

@andy_matuschak@tolmasky what about riotjs? -
-
-
-
@andy_matuschak is this something you might put in to the Khan app? I noticed you're shipping Swift code in there. -
@taybenlor Sure, seems probable.

-
@andy_matuschak u still feel this way? -
@FeelFunnyFlow Even more so now.

@andy_matuschak did you ever write about this in long form? Would love to hear your perspective on it. -
@TimHaines I never did because@joshaber summarized my view exactly: http://joshaber.github.io/2015/01/30/why-react-native-matters/ … -
@andy_matuschak thanks for the link! Hadn't seen@joshaber's post. That's pretty digestible. :)

@andy_matuschak JavaScript? -
@thelegoless What's important is the API and the semantics. -
@andy_matuschak Yeah, just wasn’t sure which project are you talking about. :)

@andy_matuschak I just worry that ReactJS app will have a short shelf-life come iOS 9 or even iOS 10. Is that not a potential issue? -
@jimhillhouse@andy_matuschak doesn't every JS library have a short life? - View other replies

@grahamperks@jimhillhouse Ideas are eternal. -
@andy_matuschak@grahamperks So has been some of the UIKit code I wrote for iOS 4 but still works fine in iOS 8.
