Have you tried Xamarin?

I have not. I didn’t want to put the time into learning the .NET stack and C# because I am from a .NET town and did not want to get stuck here. What're your thoughts on it?

I'm a native dev that is aggressively against the JS-based hybrid frameworks, and I will do every project in Xamarin from now on after working in it for a greenfield project. It's the best option out there until Kotlin Native gets legs.

Flutter has no js, or are you speaking about something else?

C# is quickly becoming the "new C" in that it runs everywhere, and runs efficiently.

It's worth learning the language because you can use it in so many places. It's not a case of "learn a new language for platform xxx."

I think you mean the new Java. C and C# are very different beasts.

He is right. You should check more about C# before you correct others.
