Back in 2012 I started learning Android but faced frustration due to Sencha, Cordova, and hibrid apps using Angular. Until end of 2015 I went deep into Native while doing web developpment during the day. This possibility of alternative technologies taking over soon had alarmed new native developers since then.I dont regret my decision. I can feel confortable if I have to learn now Flutter whose language was a hipster back in 2012 with the rise of Angular, or learn Nativescript which is known for hitting Native libraries directly. Anyways there is room for any learning goal, just dont get trapped like in my case. All technologies are meant to die just like Adobe Flash and Flex. We need to be always flexible

True, your best bet is to learn and implement what is most suitable at the moment.

But because Native Development is not going away anytime soon, nothing is safer than that :)
