Yes, absolutely. Binaries are relatively small too (around 8MB vs 60+ MB I was getting with JS runtimes)

Yeah, react native is hard to get under 60MB, but it's just so much faster to work with...
I am very productive with Dart, and find Typescript annoying. So I guess it depends.
And you are writing in Flutter? That's sort of half way between classic Kotlin and RN
Yes, it's something I have previous experience with. I love Dart, and it's getting awesomer now with metaprogramming. The part I dislike the most is that it's a Google project.
Kotlin is great too.
Makes sense. I think the best sell for me for RN is that it just uses CSS and string expressions, so if you know CSS (and basic flexbox) some JS/TS, you get productive right away.
I tried digging into Kotlin, but it would be notable time investment for me...
