Hi Fred, I work on Exponent.

With Exponent you write just JavaScript. In addition to most of the APIs that come with React Native, Exponent provides several APIs (https://docs.getexponent.com/versions/latest/sdk/index.html) and we're steadily adding more. If there's a native API we don't have yet that developers need, they tell us about it and we add it to our roadmap.

Exponent is open-source, too, so if you needed to you could fork it and write your own native code or make a raw React Native app. We recommend writing pure JS apps if you can, though. At Exponent we write native code so other people don't have to.
