" summary

Compares Cordova/Ionic/NativeScript/Flutter and shows React Native’s real architecture: JavaScript VM + bridge to native, a separate layout thread running Yoga, and a UI thread, which explains occasional typing or scrolling jank and why synchronous rendering and Fiber/time-slicing are being added. Describes calling native modules without JSON roundtrips, holding native pointers (faster camera/upload), and cites production use: Facebook apps (including the Marketplace tab), Instagram fragments, Skype, Outlook, Pinterest, Bloomberg and Zynga. Community modules and backward compatibility enable incremental migration.
