ClojureScript vs Objective-C: What are the differences?
ClojureScript: A Clojure compiler targeting JavaScript. ClojureScript is a compiler for Clojure that targets JavaScript. It is designed to emit JavaScript code which is compatible with the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure optimizing compiler; Objective-C: The primary programming language you use when writing software for OS X and iOS. Objective-C is a superset of the C programming language and provides object-oriented capabilities and a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods. It also adds language-level support for object graph management and object literals while providing dynamic typing and binding, deferring many responsibilities until runtime.
ClojureScript and Objective-C can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
ClojureScript is an open source tool with 8.12K GitHub stars and 724 GitHub forks. Here's a link to ClojureScript's open source repository on GitHub.
Uber Technologies, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of the popular companies that use Objective-C, whereas ClojureScript is used by Swish, AdStage, and Multunus. Objective-C has a broader approval, being mentioned in 851 company stacks & 363 developers stacks; compared to ClojureScript, which is listed in 24 company stacks and 17 developer stacks.
1 code deploys for both: Android and iOS. There is a huge community behind React Native. And one of the best things is Expo. Expo uses React Native to make everything even more and more simple. Awesome technologies. Some other important thing is that while using React Native, you are reusing all JavaScript knowledge you have in your team. You can move easily a frontend dev to develop mobile applications.
A huge PRO of Expo, is that it includes a full building process. You run 1 line in the terminal, and 10 minutes after you have 2 builds done. Double check EAS Expo.
