Very nice.

I think wider adoption of the "write your app UI in each platform language, and then write your business logic in JS and share it between all platforms" pattern really depends on Android or iOS officially supporting JS (or really Node/V8) as a first-class citizen.

Right now, only companies like NativeScript are pushing it as a framework and their approach comes with for-profit baggage, i.e. “write your iOS and only Android apps in JS!”. Mobile engineers have learned to fear those promises and larger enterprises are unwilling to risk their entire app architecture relying on one vendor.
