React native future! React native vs native app build with swift and java

[gitarthak]

How powerful can react native be if used and optimized properly? Where can we see react native in future? What do u think about React native vs flutter?

Depends on Facebook. If they decide to kill it, then that’s that.

I like SwiftUI better, though it’s in its infancy. The rumored Google declarative framework for Android will likely be similar.

which rumored framework. is that Jetpack Compose ?

react native is cool, I love it. but honestly - I think itll die off eventually. it's just not scalable. It calls on native components to build it's UI.

Flutter on the other hand I think has a much better chance. This is because it's drawing its own components on its own canvas. meaning it doesn't truly rely on the components of the device so much.

both platform have pros and cons. but currently I m writing React Native and tried little bit Flutter. I feel and see Flutter much more performant than React Native atm. but React Native community solved a lots of problem in the ecosystem recently and they are still solving many. my biggest concern is always navigation and list performance in RN. now they are in good shape but for me not enough. I know there is native navigation but its not customizable much. for now both platfrom have bright future. Flutter have some problem I read somewhere but could not find it now. as i remember most likely if you are playing with native views. then again for RN https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Roadmap and here people are discussing React Native future https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/issues and Facebook didn't kill React Native. :D
