React Native Better Than Native
summary
Claims that React Native speeds development by eliminating long builds (often 1–5 minutes for small apps and 45+ minutes for large ones) and enabling hot code reloading via Expo and create-react-native-app. Demonstrates using Flow/TypeScript for static checks, shows JavaScript lives on its own thread with a C++ bridge (about 40% JS), and embeds a live counter: a React Native view polls an Android DB every second through a native module — simple, working, but acknowledged as inefficient compared with native callbacks.
