Pure anecdote. Over the last year I've taken the opportunity to compare app development in Swift (+ SwiftUI and SwiftData) for iOS with React Native via Expo. I used Cursor with both OpenAI and Anthropic models. The difference was stark. With Swift the pace of development was painfully slow with confused outputs and frequent hallucinations. With React and Expo the AI was able to generate from the first few short prompts what it took me a month to produce with Swift. AI in development is all about force multipliers, speed of delivery, and driving down cost per product iteration. IMO There is absolutely no reason to choose languages, frameworks, or ecosystems with weaker open corpuses.
