Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“webpack compatibility with Rust speed. The migration path from webpack is smoother than switching to Vite or Turbopack.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“For webpack-heavy projects, Rspack provides the biggest speed improvement with the least migration effort.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Rust-based JS tooling replacing JavaScript tooling is the trend. Rspack, Biome, and SWC prove it works.”
