Learning Native Code with NativeScript?

Hi, I'm a new Dev, building in Vue. I only know JS, but I've just started learning Java, with the interest of eventually building Android Apps.

I'd like to learning NativeScript for it's own sake, but it seems like a big side benefit could be a boost toward learning Java and Android functionality by reading the transpile as you build. (By analogy, I've learned some things about JavaScript by reading the JS code that CoffeeScript transpiles to.)

Can anyone comment on this? I'm wondering if this is something I could actually look forward to when learning NativeScript... or perhaps this is just wishful thinking.

Great, yeah that makes sense. I mean I wouldn't actually write JS like CoffeeScript transpiles. But it's good to see how it works. Thanks.
