I’m working on an alternative to React Native that does exactly this, and it works absolutely fine: React NativeScript.

In NativeScript (and thus also React NativeScript), the JS logic and the UI both execute on the UI thread. Furthermore, you can synchronously access any native API without needing to set up bridging code; bindings to the whole Obj-C/Java runtimes are ready-generated.

Sounds great! After using RN for a while, that’s exactly how I think it should have been designed in the first place. Good luck!

Sweet, no more bridge bandwidth issues. I'll check it out.
