I'm starting to look into all these libraries for mobile and desktop software seems pretty nifty, even though I know a bit of java and c++ it would take way too long to produce anything meaningful.
Besides performance what disadvantages are there? It seems many of the low level interfaces are still usable like the camera. Would I have full filesystem access to say make an app which encrypts directories? Would such a thing be hopelessly insecure if it was based on angular (or any other library)?
I kind of feel like it would be more useful to just do it right with the language which was meant to be used. On the other hand I won't ever do that in my downtime, so being able to skip a lot of the legwork is very appealing. Besides muh websites and some shitty javax swing gooeys might as well be dark arts (hue hue).
