Objective-C vs Om: What are the differences?
What is 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.
What is Om? ClojureScript interface to Facebook's React. A ClojureScript UI framework and client/server architecture over Facebook's React. Om UIs are out of the box snapshotable and undoable and these operations have no implementation complexity and little overhead.
Objective-C and Om can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
Om is an open source tool with 6.61K GitHub stars and 371 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Om's open source repository on GitHub.

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.
