What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI'm a big fan of Jest - if you're using Jest with Visual Studios Code, I'd recommend looking at my extension that gives you a mode IDE-like experience.

In Jest – Painless JavaScript TestingI've been a Cocoa dev for 10+ years, and I have been doing React Native for a few months while the team I work in has been doing it longer. ( http://artsy.github.io/series/react-native-at-artsy/ )
The general things Cocoa could improve from JS:
* State Management
* View lifecycle management
* JSON -> UI (this became a lot worse with Swift)
* Developer Happiness ( e.g. compare https://github.com/orta/vscode-jest to TDD in Xcode )
* Open toolchains (Swift is improving this)
The JS ecosystem focused on building apps that talk to APIs and act as simpler clients, the Cocoa one is about building apps that don't.
