Pure native syntax highlighting with TurboModules + Fabric.

Works on iOS ✅
Works on Android ✅

`react-native-shiki` 1.0.0 in final testing:
- Native rendering pipeline
- Full @shiki.style compatibility
- No JS-to-native round trips

`react-native-shiki-engine` will be deprecated upon release.

JavaScript is trash, TypeScript is the only way Actually, Rust is superior because of memory safety and performance No, Go is better because it's simple and has great concurrency Using the right tool for the job: • TypeScript for frontend • Python for data science • Rust for systems • Protocol Buffers for APIs • Go for microservices
