I have seen recently a lot of companies eg. Slack have started using/developing third party c++ libraries for cross platform development like iOS and Android. So the UI or front end development is done natively but the business logic/data parsing etc is done in C++ which can then be used across platforms. What is your take on this? Would you develop whole application natively or not? Pros/Cons of both????? TC: 300k
React Native is a pretty good option. Flutter as well. I think it's a solid choice.
In terms of mobile development, most companies doing a cross platform mobile app will write business logic in JavaScript (for react native, Cordova, etc) or Dart (Flutter). Very few companies put shared logic in C++ libs. Mostly only the bigger companies like Facebook or Slack. The reason is that C++ can be tricky and more people know JS. In addition, most apps don’t need high performance in their shared business logic (most the high performance needs are in UI which is platform specific) That said, if a company can afford it, putting cross platform logic in a C/C++ lib can definitely help you eek out a bit more performance.
Native. React Native/Flutter just adds a layer of complexity especially if you care deeply about UX
I think the beauty of react native is that your UX *can* be native.
If you need to write platform specific code when u use react native for example, the project becomes more way complex.
I’m neither, and I read this post... am I going to Blind hell?
