Ambitious. I’m sure they know what their problems are and how to solve them, as evidenced by the agent being able to control the UI’s timing (and it being mentioned so far up). Getting the agent to get interactivity right is pretty hard otherwise.

Why isn't Android support there?

Presumably they’re focusing on a few platforms first. As they noted it’s coming though

Is this satire?

This is absolutely huge. If the Expo team can demonstrate that this development strategy is viable, we will finally see a resurgence of native applications and more efficient software, getting rid of the Electron bloat.

It's a long shot for now, though! There are lot of gritty nitty details they have to get right. One of the first issues I can imagine is this framework being great to use with Opus 5.5 but not good enough with i.e. Gemini 4 Argon or DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017, due to the overreliance on having AI models write the code.
