Doubtful, they can just include a compiled JavaScript runtime.
I thought JavaScript was interpreted? Seriously, are there Linux JavaScript compilers existing - which don't depend on Node or any other JIT-compiler, and which can be integrated in Android projects?

Sounds like maybe you're not so puzzled after all? I'm not sure what you're hearing is hype. I think it's just excitement. Nobody is declaring this as The One True Way just yet, but a lot of people (you and I included, it seems) are cautiously optimistic tha…
The excitement I've witnessed has been more of the "One True Way", "completely unprecented", "cross-platform mobile solved for good" type. People are talking about how they'll use React Native for new apps without any regard for whether it makes sense in the particular case or not. So I tried to calm down those expectations a bit.

#43I'm very excited about this, but can someone please write something down? The videos are nice an all, but information-wise they're incredibly low-density. If I have an hour to spend on React Native, I'd rather read for 10 minutes and experiment for the remaining 50...

#44I'm curious about animations. That is one thing React hasn't really figured out on the web. I think the last experiment I saw was to do all the animations manually using component state. I wonder if this is the same on Native? Ideally a cross pollination of ideas about animations would make both ecosystems better.
yes, this is a good question. I still have to implement drag and drop in a react project, and it seems the way to go is do this all through state? Which means none of the existing drag and drop solutions will work (any DOM manipulation without react knowing about it will cause trouble), and since react is relatively new there is seems there is still a need for good reusable animation components/mixins, and in the mea…
Um, we totally use jquery-ui's drag and drop in a React component in production and nothing bad happens.

I normally listen for a few minutes at double speed, then drop down to 1.5 if necessary.

#46Hmmmm.
An interesting idea, however Apple might have something to say about that (App Store Review Guidelines):
2.7 Apps that download code in any way or form will be rejected
2.8 Apps that install or launch other executable code will be rejected
Still...I like the idea of pushing the boundaries of native iOS development.
