Every generation inherits the debts of the past and a duty to pay it down. Just because I was born into this world and personally did not endorse the use of CFCs or the petrodollar system doesn’t mean I’m absolved of being a participant in finding solutions to the nth-order effects these technologies introduce into the world.
There’s a lot of speed you can muster out of the different platforms the closer you are to the metal. That said, I would love to help out if it’s an open source project. There are some developments at least on the iOS side, like SwiftUI, that could make writing and maintaining these native apps easier than you may be thinking.
