This is just pure hype: Apps word does not end on Android (all its apps
are written in some scripts lang)!!!
There are many areas where normal C++ programs are needed, and are not
replaceable due to their time critical nature.
Even on desktop such simple app like text editor must be coded in C++
because in JS (VS Code) programmers see noticeable lags. The same is
true for huge programs like Text Processors, CAD, 3D Modeling, Graphic
Editors, and many more.
Summary: only silly apps can be write in JS (or in other scripting
lang). Normal and professional programs must be written in compiling
lang, like modern object-oriented C++.
