If you really want to get your feet wet with JS, then brace yourself, it's more functional than most OOP people are used to.

The Google cross platform system: http://flutter.io/faq/[^]
I'm not, not just yet - because I'd need to learn DART and there is no dev kit for Windows yet - but I can see that as a major advantage over Xamarin. If nothing else, there isn't the payments every year they want which has put me off investing in them so far.
But...it looks interesting.

Flutter and Dart, eh? The result of their combination is somewhat rhyming to Dart itself. 
Everything, "cross-platform" is either based on JavaScript and HTML, or costs a fortune cookie! It's all a lie, a very big lie.
P.S, if you want Xamarin for free, imitate being a Student[^].

That would not sit well with me, it's on a par with "copying software isn't stealing it" in my moral code.
I don't expect others to live by my personal code, but I do expect me to!

Actually, Xamarin, even as me for a student, is not a good platform to write applications for.
Qt is a much better one, but they have an opposite code, they would want money if you make some. Otherwise, they're free!

They wouldn't give me Xamarin as a high school student.

It must be too powerful for a high school student to handle.

Only 2D for now.
They tell about a long-term plan for 3D. Not sure about the time period, though.

I think there is a typo where they talk about Dart. I bet it should read Darth...

For cross-platform mobile dev, you may want to check out Intel's MOE[^].

Everyone and their mother seems to be getting in on the act. Sigh, a plethora of multi-platform dev tools, 90% of them will probably be crapware.

Yes, but I think only the heavyweights will survive. Xamarin is aimed at the MS community and has MS' blessing (from what the rags say). MOE seems to target the Android/iOS community who are likely to already be familiar with Java.
I think the deciding factor will be price. Non-free tools are unlikely to survive (IMHO).

Marc...
At the very least, Google will eventually lose interest in this latest project of theirs like so many before them. In fact, before reading the announcement on "Flutter" I had just read an article that claimed that "Dart" has basically become rather irrelevant...

Hahahaha! That's such a problem nowadays, all these new techs, like throwing sticky balls at a wall, watching to see which one actually sticks.

Another professional of the same heart... 
I have just completed a long, sociological piece on this very problem in the software development profession that is going to go up on my technical blog ("TECH NOTES") as well as published on the CodeProject and jaxEnter.
Since I have been in the profession for such a long time I have seen all of these fads come and go but currently it appears to be the worst I have experienced as it is turning the profession on its ear.
My piece should be up on "TECH NOTES" by the end of the day... https://blackfalconsoftware.wordpress.com/

I'm so glad you enjoyed it...
It took three solid days to write it and finessing the sociology with the events in our profession was quite a difficult task.

nice.
"Do you really need to use a “repository” pattern when all you need to do is just access the bloody database!?"
and just a couple hours before reading the article i was reminiscing about how cell phones used to sit in the glove compartment [glove box] for emergencies. wild.

I'll wait until it's stabilized but it does look interesting.

Given:
We are still missing core features like accessibility, text input, localization, and more.
This is like me writing an article about a program that reads your mind and writes perfect code for you. Missing core features like mind reading and code generation.
