Of course, this advantage is more than outweighed by having to use JavaScript in the first place.

Considering all of the languages that can transpile to JS, I wouldn't say that's an issue.

Now the bugs and shortcomings of CSS, that's certainly a knock against hybrid apps :)

Wasting CPU time on a mobile device by 'transpiling' is pie in the sky webdev nonsense.

Why would one transpile on the device rather than on one's dev/deployment/whatever server?
