Objective-C vs ReasonML: 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 ReasonML? A friendly programming language for JavaScript and OCaml. It lets you write simple, fast and quality type safe code while leveraging both the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems.It is powerful, safe type inference means you rarely have to annotate types, but everything gets checked for you.
Objective-C and ReasonML can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.
ReasonML is an open source tool with 7.92K GitHub stars and 374 GitHub forks. Here's a link to ReasonML's open source repository on GitHub.
Uber Technologies, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of the popular companies that use Objective-C, whereas ReasonML is used by Instagram, Broadsheet, and NG Informática. Objective-C has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1102 company stacks & 2098 developers stacks; compared to ReasonML, which is listed in 8 company stacks and 7 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.
