alt Hacker NewsIn the challenges section, they list a few challenges with React Native that they had to overcome. Interesting thing is that MS already has XAML, WinUI etc., that they built and control and don't havr those "challenges". I don't understand what the team got by using React Native compared to using XAML. Anyone from MS here who could provide some technical benefits for this decision?
Maybe being not laid off along with other long-term staff and being part of easy-to-hire easily expendable army of JavaScript / TypeScript developers? XAML etc. are specific skills the developers are rarer and usually paid better than JS/TS devs.
