That's part of the story, but not entirely. CSS is actually a bigger factor than JavaScript when you talk about the performance story of PhoneGap apps - think transitions, scrolling, etc. The 1/2 truth of JIT limitations in WebViews has led to a fair amount of FUD.

Not that it isn't a problem! And to that end, Android 4.4 comes with a Chrome WebView option (with V8 engine).

What about the explosion of hybrid mobile tech like PhoneGap/Icenium/Sencha? Surely the barrier to entry is still much lower than Xamarin - plus performance is catching up.

What can you tell us about TypeScript and where it is headed in terms of the language itself and how Visual Studio is going to support it? I was loving TypeScript integration in Web Essentials - until 3.0 that is! - so I'm curious to know how much emphasis MSFT is going to put on this up and coming technology.
