It's interesting technology (both react and react native). But the javascript ecosystem and tooling is a bag of shit. People put up with it on the web because you don't have a choice. The only reasonable explanation for node.js to exist is that some people are too stupid to learn php. javascript on the server or desktop or pocket is a massive step backwards. But this caters to people who are too stupid to understand that so I'm sure it will be wild success. Sometimes I think intel is bankrolling the javascript hype to sell faster processors to compensate for slower and dumber code. I also wonder if wonder if wearing skinny jeans causes mind-numbing crotch pain to the point that, relatively speaking, javascript is a pleasure to use.
