> (Don't confuse ComponentKit with React Native, a framework for building apps in Javascript.)
As long as they can't describe it without citing React, this is going to confuse people. At the very least, the logline should mention Obj-C/Swift/Cocoa to differentiate the projects.
Indeed! I am for one quite confused. So this is native to Obj-C, right? Unlike React Native, which is not native, I guess? Can it in any way be made to interact with React Native or are they two completely different technologies (i.e., does React Native render to ComponentKit)? Why do Facebook need both? When do they use the one over the other? Why?
Ben commented on another thread yesterday. ComponentKit is similar because it follows Facebook's philosophy for UI, but came about before React Native was attempted. (Hence, it's written in Apple's native Obj-C as opposed to React's JS.)
React Native came after some successful experiments later and isn't as mature.
