You've misunderstood.

I said React Native is revolutionary. It's the first JS framework that lets you build native iOS and Android apps. Key word here being "native".

React itself was designed as a UI library, purely to be used as the "V" in an MVC app. It's like expecting D3.js to do your AJAX calls. Unless it's a full front-end framework, there's no point trying to do everything.



Surprisingly D3.js actually can do your AJAX calls with d3.xhr()!


Perhaps that's natural, but I mean, if you had, say, "Angular Native" you'd have a whole application which would be wild.


What do you mean?


I mean that the competing frameworks are whole application frameworks instead of just a view; being able to write them and compile them to native would be even more powerful.
