Thanks to web browsers, JavaScript is everywhere, even on Apple's not (yet) released extended reality headset. But wouldn't it be more fun to run JS natively, without the browser, with unlimited access to this new platform capabilities of spatial computing? Yes it would! And thanks to React Native it turned out easier than I thought (yet still very challenging). And with this talk I want to share my journey and ideas for the future.
