I don't know. Could be nice for those developers that prioritize iOS and now they could keep writing Swift also for Android.

Is it gonna be what you primarily use if you wanna write an Android app? Probably not.

Is it gonna displace react Native? Probably not. Is it gonna reach the levels of flutter? Maybe.



The language doesn’t really matter. The underlying SDK/framework is where the action is at.

However, I suspect that we may not be too far off, from LLMs being the true cross-platform system. You feed the same requirements, with different targets, and it generates full native apps.


> from LLMs being the true cross-platform system

Fully agree. I have zero Swift knowledge and currently use LLM to write a native app. I'm well aware of the SDKs and concepts in iOS development, so even if something's wrong I got intuition where to look and how to make the LLM fix it.


I’m not sure about that but porting libraries from one language to another seems well within their capabilities.


I don't think we're there yet, but I suspect that it's just a matter of time.

It would certainly be quite profitable. Money tends to drive progress.

Never. It won’t even reach Compose level, Flutter level DX is unattainable for any framework outside Flutter.
