I agree!

Code reuse - I have an dual iOS/Android React Native app and over 90% of the codebase are generic components. Most of the difference are simply stylesheets, for platform-specific UX.
Besides that, there's the incalculable benefit of being able to use the same mental model (to say nothing of programming language) when developing, especially when designing UI components and animations. Even if you had equal skill with building layouts in both systems, there's great advantage in not having to context switch.

I would expect a company hosting their own conference to be excited about it!

It's beyond amazing imo. Tricky in some areas but I just launched a pretty complex app in 4 months with 100% attention given to both android + ios, and it was just 1.5 developers (averaged over time).

Makes sense. I'd be proud if I was behind React and humble if I was behind Angular

Except golang team, who else from google provided competitive SDK, framework, library to developers?

#19Are we expecting any major announcements today in the vein of React Native?
No- their three priorities for this year are "execution, execution, execution"

#20Are we expecting any major announcements today in the vein of React Native?
The current presenter just said (paraphrased): "Sorry, we don't have any huge announcements this year on the scale of React Native."
