I recently did a js13k near pure ui game in pure html css and js. It helped me understand why the industry went to jquery and then to the component based reactivity frameworks. As a mental exercise pure js html css is more expensive than reactive components are. Jsx reduces mental load.
Damn this train of posts was interesting. Thanj you for wroting all this. As someone learning C you mention a lack of resources to write good C, any recommendations? I have Modern C Third Edition but its not good educational material, anything that gives good scaffolding for learning.
Oh for sure, i wish scala was still a thing likewise. But i havnt seen clojure mentioned as a serious tech consoderation for years. I hope the people who do it and enjoy it can keep gping though.
He said consistently private way to use the technology, as in a way to make it proprietary so no one can just copy or look under the hood at it. Like their whole closed garden approach.
Afaik my software industry history being cheap and fast has always been big. Its why windows won the OS wars. We have Java and C++ because they were promises of faster ttm and easier. Java particularly ran on "write once run anywhere" slogan.
Im not sure what you mean, but young devs deff didnt make electron. Neither do young devs decide to use electron to make their desktop apps. Microsoft Teams? Who chose that? And whose teaching young devs? Again it comes down to TTM, and the perception that using a single techstack is faster.
True, but its easier and quicker to make an electron app than learn a compiled language and reimplement from scratch all the thing the browser allows you to script. Companies can have access to web developers. Few companies want to find people to work in the niche text editor developer market.
Because it is easier/quicker than the alternative. Mosaic was trying to be quick in the browser wars and saw embeded java applets were the worse alternative: javascript. You got electron because so many apps were web first and then its quicker to wrap it in electron than build from scratch.
