Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour

NativeScript?

What is NativeScript?

• Develop iOS, Android and (soon) Windows Phone apps from a single code base​.
• Run with V8 directly over native OS (iOS 7.0+ and Android 4.1+).
• Eliminates the low-performance issues in cross platforms apps.
• API fully in JavaScript (or TypeScript) with Angular 2.

NativeScript could be the greatest promise ever for cross-platform mobile development.
