What’s that? If you gonna mention Java shenanigans like memory management and garbage collector, .NET is fairly close. Mobile-specific things like multi-touch UX and power management are shared by all battery-powered devices. Many kernel-specific things are shared with all Linuxes including desktop, server, and embedded.

I probably will. I already did a few times in my career. When I found that iOS development job a decade ago, I had zero prior experience with the platform. I had many years of prior experience developing stuff for Windows, game consoles, and some older mobile platforms.
