> Lowpass hints at Vega’s reliance on React Native for app development, a framework born from the Meta realms. This choice suggests Amazon’s ambition for cross-platform prowess, harmonizing app development across iOS and Android. While the report doesn’t explicitly address Vega’s potential migration to Fire tablets, one can’t help but wonder if this Linux-based revelation might unlock new dimensions for Amazon’s versatile devices.

Ironically Android started out with JavaScript, and due to performance they pivoted into Java, if I remember correctly.

I bet it will be the usual mostly written in C++, with JavaScript as kind of GUI markup language, actually.

As that is the way many seem to use React Native, as a cheap alternative to QML / Qt.
