Transcrypt React Native vs Enaml Native

[kiwi0fruit]

How do you compare Transcrypt + React Native vs Enaml Native? Example of React Native in Transcrypt is here.

The example given is for ReactJS, not react native, but assuming transcrypt did also work with RN theres still a major difference in library support.

Enaml native uses cross compiled CPython. Therefore any python libraries, including those with c-extensions, can be used as long as they can also be cross compiled (using conda mobile).

From what I understand, Transcript compiles python code to js and thus will not support using any existing python libraries with c extensions (ex numpy, lxml, crypto...).

Hope that helps.

I guess RN example is here: https://github.com/metamarcdw/react-native-transcrypt

I more or less understand the differences:

• startup speed time
• app size
• using python libs vs using js libs (including React Native modules)
• having annoying __pragma__ annotations

Which way you think more vitable or convenient in the future?

[frmdstryr]

I think which is more viable/convenient depends on your needs and whether you prefer react or enaml.

Personally, I avoid transpilers (except cython) because of library incompatibilities that often come with.
