I'd not heard of this - I'll definitely check it out.

Just to clarify a bit further, Remobjects approach is NOT to try to build one set of code that runs anywhere. They are trying to let you write platform specific code.
They let you write one language that runs anywhere or any one of their languages that runs anywhere. So if you want to write Swift that runs on Windows, you can do that.
Another thing about Remobjects is that they are VERY responsive about fixing bugs. Bugs I have reported are generally fixed the next day. And that comes out in the next beta which they generally make available weekly.
One downside is that as they have added more languages and platforms support, they are having more bugs, but I guess that is to be expected.

You got me at iOS and Xamarin.

It is very simple. "Apple Hates Developers". There is no other explanation for XCode. The fun really starts when you try to publish. I won't ruin the experience for you with spoilers.
Seriously, my advice is to first get a simple XCode app working and compiling. 90% of the issues are related to that part of the process. Then Xamarin should work like a charm.

recursive sentences, as in:
"How do I send a JSON string as a value in a JSON key-value structure?"
No, that's not a programming question, I can think of a few ways to do that, like base64 encode the thing first.
Why am I doing that, you may ask? I'm using this fun editor to let users specify a schema (and data eventually) in JSON using a browser.
Send JSON as JSON is one of those "whaaat???" moments for the search engine, I think.
Even this (another requirement I have):
"sending python code in json value"
doesn't get me anywhere, haha.

This is where double-quoting the whole thing (making it literal) can help. A little. Sometimes.

I got home yesterday and found my left arrow key missing on my 20 year old keyboard...
The keys are pretty solid. I've tried to get them off once, but without success.
Suspect #1, the cleaner. She's the only one who has been in my house, save for the cat.
Suspect #2, there wasn't any. No way in hell that the cat could've done this without throwing the keyboard on the floor or anything.
So I asked the cleaner, but she told me it already was like that.
She sometimes brings her son, but he was at school.
She DID offer me a new keyboard though, pretty awesome for someone who did not break my keyboard in any way!
So... One person in the house and she knows nothing about the key.
I've searched and ultimately found the key, broken, in the bag of the vacuum cleaner.
Confronted the cleaner with it, but she still denies knowing anything about it.
"Must've happened while I was cleaning and I didn't notice."
So you wreck a nearly unbreakable keyboard and somehow manage to get the key in the vacuum cleaner (must've made some noise!) and do so without noticing!? 
I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she's been my cleaner for over a year without any problems and I really don't feel like finding another cleaner.
For a minute there I was afraid I'd be needing a new keyboard, but it seems my old friend can stay with me a little longer

She might have tried to vacuum the keyboard. That's my guess  .

Perhaps you should try cleaning all the years worth of detritus from in-between the keys of your keyboard. Maybe that's what your cleaner was trying to do for you... Imagine trying to clean all that dead skin buildup. And all the nutella... and breadcrumbs... sheesh

I've tried, but I couldn't get the keys loose! (true story)

Vacuuming - knock the keyboard onto the floor (is it wired?) - key pops off unnoticed - picked up by the vacuum cleaner.
She does not want to admit to knocking the keyboard to the floor and genuinely has no idea why you are wittering on about the missing key.
And I thought my paranoia was getting the better of my judgement.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

The keyboard is wired. If it were to fall on the floor it would probably take my monitor and speakers with it (but more likely is that they keep the keyboard from falling).
She said she noticed the missing key right away and it was like that when she got here.
Now that sounds like a lie to not have to pay for damages.
Although I do somehow believe she's not lying to me... So I really wonder how she managed to wreck the key without noticing

You can afford a cleaner and you expect us poorly paid keyboard monkeys to be sympathetic? :P
Best way to phone help someone fix a broken keyboard?
1. Grasp keyboard firmly in both hands
2. Raise keyboard above head
3. Shake real hard.
Wait for the screams...

Sounds like a scene from a bad porno.
"You lost a key."
"No, monsieur I didn't."
"Take off your shirt.... Uh, on the other hand, put it back on and go away."

Who but the guilty party would even notice it was already like that? I don't think a cleaning lady would even be paying attention to what's on my desk...
