Taking React Native to Consoles, TVs, and Beyond Using the Dark Power of C++

About

In the React Native codebase lurk nearly 56 000 lines of C++, a full third of its native code and growing. Rather than shy away from it, can we embrace this dark power to go beyond iOS and Android and get to Xbox, PlayStation, smart TVs, and even embedded devices like Roku? Using techniques from our friends in the game industry, let’s explore what it means to go fully cross platform.
