What does HackerNews think of componentkit?
A React-inspired view framework for iOS.
Language:
Objective-C++
xhp was honestly pretty nice - it was something watching the rapid codemods transform the language.
There was also ComponentKit, which was used heavily in fbobjc: https://github.com/facebook/componentkit
Origami eng here:
Swift wasn't ready when we started a couple years ago. We actually used some swift for internal things and it has been a bit of a pain, eg with the macOS SDK update for Xcode 8. Combining ObjC and C++ you get a lot of the benefits of swift like functional programming / static type checking etc, paying a similar price in compile time.
It would be hard to achieve the elegance of ComponentKit syntax (https://github.com/facebook/componentkit) in swift though. It lets us express the UI in a functional way :D
I'm curious, can somebody talk about the differences between using React Native vs ComponentsKit?
It seems ComponentsKit is a very specific to iOS as opposed to React.
Early access? It's already public! https://github.com/facebook/componentkit
