Anyone planning to work on implementing React Native's runtime UI hot patching, without the browser and JavaScript involved?

it's easy to avoid the browser, but why do you want to avoid js?

I'd flip the question, why make someone doing pure ObjC/Swift native work have to use JS for their UI code?

"learn once, write anywhere." but no, i don't know of anyone working on such a thing.

yeah I know their philosophy, but that would mean your entire app is JS. The hot swap is equally valuable to tradn'l native.

swift is closed-source, so you can't port it to the device; you'd have to compile + send .dylib's and dlopen them on device

I'd be fine with a simulator-only solution, to start. Not sure that it would involve compiling app source for sure either.

how could avoid compiling source if you want to stay in apple-language-land?
