I was at WWDC when Apple announced Swift. Don’t expect them to be kind to your crappy UI, and your non-existent animations. Except now replace your user base with people who have never heard of AOL, and who grew up using the latest smartphones. Do you remember those horrible cross-platform Java apps from the 2000’s (with user interfaces made with Swing) ? It’s like that. Which is a clearly a good idea - to those who have never written a native mobile app in their life. I wouldn’t wish it on my enemies.Īnd then there are the “let’s just use a web framework” solutions. But for the last decade, the dream has remained just that. For mobile developers, the dream has always been to have a modern language for sharing code between iOS & Android.
