Boden – Native mobile cross-platform applications

The target audience seems very small. There’s lots of C# shops (Xamarin), and lots of JavaScript shops (React Native, Titanium), but few C++ shops that’d benefit from developing apps.

Maybe I’m wrong but the niche seems too small to be sustainable.

Soon there will be Dart shops (Flutter). :)

Funny you mention that. I primarily work with native mobile development and have grown fond of Flutter. Interestingly, the situation is reversed; shops will adopt Dart because of Flutter.

At least that is what Dart team hopes, after losing support from Chrome and Angular teams.

Except Angular Dart is alive and kicking, no? Powering AdSense at least which is a huge chunk of Google's business if I recall correctly from a Flutter talk by the PM who put some numbers on a slide.

It looks pretty dead to me.

AdSense team rescued Dart from certain death.

They also used to be heavy GWT users before, a stack now mostly discarded by Google.

This is different, Its not that c++ that people think from the 90's.

- Boden supports native components for iOS and Android and maybe other platforms in the future. - uses c++17 really clean with powerful abstractions, think all your app in just c++17, no xml or other craps, I want to make my app with just c++17. - no garbage collectors, slowness, pause the world etc - single binary - the fastest programming language in the market.

the list goes on and on.
