I think that's the great point. You can go with Royale, React, Angula,
Vue,... and all options has its pros and cons
so there's no perfect solution. React has many people behind, Facebook,
docs, you can find people that knows all libs that you need to work with
but has many other problems.

Royale seems to me more like an option for the future, as a technology and
a foundation that you could use for years and years, so you can target JS
now, but WEBASM in the future.
But all of this remains in the success of Royale. Since if we don't attract
talent to make lots of this happen, maybe will not be better than other
options, and even more risky.

Making Royale moving forward and evolving with all the things we all now is
very difficult. We need people interested in make this happen and investing
time in tasks that are not easy to get.
But when that happen is really amazing. If I think in how far we reach
since end of 2017 to these days, I think all is possible. Think all the
work done through this pass year... think how far we could go
in one more year.... I think possibilities are endless. We just need people
coming and joining, and Apache Royale could be an amazing tech to use.

One latest thought. For me React is a cool tech, but I think is just a
library and some other companion libs and is only in the JS realm. So for
me it seems the scope of React is almost done, and what about 5 years in
the future?
Will be React still be the king? And people that are investing now in
React? Should they migrate to the new trend (maybe Webasm?) when world says
that's the new tech to go?

I expect Royale would allow us to add other target, that we'll be difficult
and time consuming, but its all about Royale, and we must to see how to
adapt libs (Jewel,...) to output that new targets, and then adapt our apps
to target that new targets too. But other folks using JS libs...will need
to rewrite *all* from scratch...again...

In the other hand, going with those JS libs for a new app, is the most easy
and less risk solution today without no doubt.
