Are Java and C still the only viable choices for Android development?
Jonathan Perry
Why you guys hate on react native?
Isaac Gray
Kotlin is what Android is pushing people towards.
William Williams
Is it actually any better? Everyone seems to think so, but people used to Java have very low standards.
Andrew Jones
Flutter is also pretty good, if you like the one way data binding flow.
Samuel King
Java with less boilerplate and better syntax depending on your opinions. It's still fundamentally a JVM language.
Lucas Perry
I think they are pushing it because of the Oracle lawsuit, better to have a backup, but who knows what will happen with Kotlin if Google wins lawsuit, maybe even nothing.
Brayden Sanchez
Why the fuck do 90% of mobileshit jobs in my area Require fucking React Native
When did a JS framework become the top dawg in mobiel app development?

>When did a JS framework become the top dawg in mobiel app development?
When every two-digit IQ ape learned how to use JS for web dev. SV wants JS to be used for literally all non-systems programming so they can make more use of their hiring pool of easily replaced hipsters instead of having to pay more for actual professionals
Levi Cruz
Literally everything will revolve around JS in near future.
Benjamin Peterson
I'd like to hear Jow Forumsentoomen's opinions around Flutter. anyone actually using it?
Isaac Diaz
why does angular gets no love ;_;
Luke Gomez
>When did a JS framework become the top dawg in mobiel app development?
It's extremely productive and easy to make an app in it
David Fisher
You can't write apps in Angular tho? It doesnt have a React Native "thing" like React does, I mean you can use Ionic but i heard its a piece of shit, anyway if you want to use JS
Juan Jenkins
t. never heard about nativescript
Michael Peterson
Well seeing as no job or popular app uses it the n neither did the rest of the world
Levi Perez
Flutter. Best framework, other's can't even compete.
Justin Nelson
Is it really on the level of native apps or is it "native" only in the name?
Angel Lopez
Is this FLOEEEEEEEEENS general?
Jeremiah Wright
Define "native".
If native means it can manipulate every spec/feature/app/addon a device has, then yes
Kevin Miller
No it's not. But the thing is that we have so fucking much horsepower available these days that it simply doesn't matter. Of course writing actual native apps is better practice and will result in better outcome but JS does it almost as well and is a hundred times easier to use. Also most apps have normal browser apps as well so you can use the same code which means less work.
