    React Native! I used to hate non-native platforms, but React is something else!

    Swift, slightly more readable than the mess called objective-c

    @sboulema I don't think objective C is horrible - especially after they introduced ARC. But yes, it was definitely showing its age

    C# or C++

    Xamarin ftw

    And C++ because I am a bit masochistic maybe I should try and use jave?

    Appcelerator is a good choice as well. Some friends use it and I have used it too. They have almost all native features of both Android and iOS on their Titanium API.

    Swift. I've been a C# developer for many years and Swift was a much easier transition than Obj-C.

    I'm currently working with ionic + cordova + angular to write an app for iOS and Android. Every day I almost kill myself. Native FTW!
    (Never tried Xamarin though)

    Swift (since v. 1.0). And I would rather stand 3 more language evolutions that are backward incompatible than touching 1-2 years old ObjC code. Not that ObjC is bad, it's just that I have found being more creative with Swift. Great language!

    I've been hoping this post would pop up some day. I am one of the weird few who actually like C in general (and objective C, C++, C#...), but I found Swift is actually exceedingly efficient on a lower level, so now I use that...makes me sad tbh 🍺

    Cordova does the job, don't get me wrong. Just that html mobile apps are not as good as native ones.
    Also my head hurts looking at Objective-C method signatures *shudders*
