The future of cross-platform is Native

" summary

Claim: Kotlin Multiplatform narrows the gap between cross-platform and native by compiling shared logic to Objective‑C format for iOS, JVM for Android and JavaScript/WebAssembly for web, enabling native interop rather than replacing platform UI. Evidence: compares runtimes (React Native on JavaScriptCore, Flutter AOT to native, Xamarin constraints), notes Android is first‑class Kotlin, iOS integration is improving, and community tooling for Xcode and Android Studio exists. Adoption is early but practical and low‑risk for mobile.
