It looks like they were originally on Chakra (the JS engine used by IE9+ and pre-Chromium Edge) but added support for Hermes in 2021 or so and removed support for Chakra last year, so Hermes is now the only option. Edge moved to Chromium in 2019, so this means they actually kept Chakra around for a few years just? for React Native on Windows.

React Native is able to build abstractions on top of both Android and iOS that uses native UI. Microsoft even have a package for doing a "React Native" for Windows: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows It's weird that we don't have a unified "React Native Desktop" that would build upon the react-native-windows package and add similar backends for MacOS and Linux. That way we could be building native apps while keeping the stuff developers like from React.

React Native is built on the native app framework of each platform (which is currently WinUI2/UWP on Windows, supposed to be moving to WinUI3/WinAppSDK in the future) https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/projects/3...

No, it's not misleading. The Office 365 desktop apps are written in React. As is Teams. As is Visual Studio Code. Specifically, React Native for Windows. https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows For things like background services, they still use C/C++.

Doesn't make any sense, especially since they created https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows Can we stop using document formatting as applications? We're also not using Word with OLE/COM/ActiveX objects to do video conferencing.

I think I read about this on twitter from one of the webpack devs a few years ago, might have been this chain. (https://twitter.com/TheLarkInn/status/1006746626617008128) I think for react native in windows apps more generally the github page is a good start https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows

I would like to draw to your attention the magnitude of that task, with a recent link from another HN comment discussion: http://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/react-native and https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/blob/maste... Turns out left-pad.js is on line 8571 of that 14+k line yarn.lock file. How many React Native developers do you suppose have reviewed every line of code in every library referenced in that file? (Or even how many engineering teams at any React-using Unicorn size startups or FAANG have exhaustively reviewed all those lines of code?) Is FaceBook a "trusted publisher" of React? Is npm a "trusted publisher" of Node libraries? Was Azer Koçulu a "trusted publisher" of left-pad.js? (And it's turtles all the way down. Is Microsoft a "trusted publisher" of Windows? Is Dell a "trusted publisher" of bios? Is Intel a "t

it's in there, somewhere.. https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/blob/maste...

It is not. Here's the GitHub for the Windows implementation: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows And here's the fork of React Native for the Mac one (it doesn't seem to be as polished as the Windows one yet): https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos

They seem to be putting a lot of effort on React Native for Windows and Mac (https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows). If you don't want to go full Electron, I think React Native ticks a lot of boxes (cross-plat, accessible for entry level/JS developers, native performance for the most part). The thing that was missing before was a nice UI framework to go along with it; hopefully this WinUI thing addresses that.

I can't suggest anything, I'm afraid—I haven't worked with Windows and Linux targets using React Native. But it appears that there are React Native rendering targets for Windows and Linux (https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows and https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop). I'd probably start by looking there. And of course, because React Native can build to web, one could ship Electron apps for platforms with lower priority for your business.

Yes, at least officially for Windows. The official fork: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows

UWP is pretty much alive. WinUI 3.0 and XAML Islands roadmap at BUILD 2019 https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/sessions/77008 React Native for Windows reimplementation https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows React Native @ Microsoft, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUMWFExtDSg And even if one disregards the fact that all new Windows 10 APIs are UWP based, the sandbox also applies to Win32 apps deployed via the store or MSIX packages. As for DirectCompute, game developers naturally.
