Hi Lucas I totally agree with you on the components comment.
Hi Mike: I'm watching your Ambly REPL project and Nolen's experiment with JSX ( https://github.com/swannodette/jsx-fun) The part of the article that highlights my concern is: <<Unless you want to subclass an unhealthy amount of UIKit using Objective-C (hint: I don’t), you will be rather restrained in what you can do out-of-the-box.>> which is expected given the approach, no need to even use React Native to arrive at this conclusion, but you seem to say that this is a temporary issue and that Facebook and others will quickly fill the gap. If so, I hope that the ClojureScript variant will be ready by the time React Native has a fuller set of components and a wide ecosystem and fewer major bugs, at which point it will probably be the leading choice for many mobile development scenarios. I guess the sticky point is if we wish to do something which can't be done with React Native out of the box we'd have to go back to Objective-C. This will be a long lasting rule, imo, but then a ton of app scenarios can be accomplished much more nimbly (or ambly) using React Native... wish they would add Swift support ....
