On: Introducing Create React Native App

[scarlac]

Not quite. WASM will enable faster web-based performance, but you're still building on top of a browser. If you're using the DOM, then you're still subject to the normal performance bottlenecks there, and if you're using canvas then you need to re-implement a lot of UI code. React Native is layer on top of actual native components on the respective platforms. They two are wildly different technologies. I enjoy RN and I do look forward to WASM as well, but I don't see them overlapping anytime soon.

Yes, that's what I want

>normal performance bottlenecks there,

I've never found the DOM to be a performance bottleneck, and I build UIs with thousands of elements.

>I don't see them overlapping anytime soon

I hope not. Like I said, I don't want React - I want WASM and good high level languages. And I want more device support with WASM.
