* you can't express text wrapping which is a huge issue. You've got to do workarounds in order to support it
* the api is very reference based. You need to say that the right of this element is left of this other one. whereas in react you don't want to assign every element you create to a local variable to get that reference the best api with react is one based on containers. <HorizontalLayout>... This is what I started with in react native but then, i realized that this was so close to flexbox that I could just use it instead :) you could use cassowary as an implementation detail of flexbox but that doesn't give you much
* also, when i tested cassowary, the js version, it was extremely slow. The version that we have in react native barely appears in traces for real code that we have
