SwiftUI is going to kill React Native.

On Monday, I knew nothing about native iOS development.

Today, I wrote this. (It's only ~150 lines of code.)
PS, if you're into SwiftUI and you want to talk shop, I would love to talk shop!

I get the sense this is a really new thing and everybody is figuring it out at the same time
Lots of devs in my mentions saying “But SwiftUI isn’t cross-platform! You can’t compare them!”

You actually can, because the incentive to take on the many problems associated with cross-platform frameworks is greatly reduced when you can build native so easily.
Also, a lot of people are asking how I learned!

If you know other programming languages but not Swift, I’d recommend starting here: learnxinyminutes.com/docs/swift/

Then watch this Apple keynote: developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…

Then do the Apple tutorial: developer.apple.com/tutorials/swif…
You, reading my tweet and replying

Me, wading through my ruined mentions, somewhat regretting my sensationalist wording and all the heated arguments it provoked
