Just watched the @laravel.com Nightwatch demo as a curious javascript guy and I'm blown away. You can only get this kind of quality from a tightly integrated framework that owns the whole stack.

Bravo to the whole team 👏.

React Native either feels like a modern marvel of engineering or a complete shambolic mess built on duct tape and sticks. There’s very little in between.
