Microsoft announced XAML Hot Reload is coming this year to Xamarin.Forms, bringing the cross-platform mobile development tooling more up to par with React Native and Flutter.

Announced during BUILD 2017, Microsoft has made public the first draft of the XAML Standard, a markup dialect meant to unify how user interface elements are defined.

Xamarin.Forms gives you the gift of XAML if you're looking to take the short route to building mobile interfaces.
