That is why everyone even Microsoft themselves does Electron.

Running with html/css/js has benefits it really is open and free development based on international standards and not locked into any single big tech.

I don't know, I think it's pretty embarrassing that Teams is an electron (or whatever) app. The plot on native has been lost so badly that even the fucking company that makes the OS doesn't want to deal with it.

Electron is the worst thing that happened to quality software. I spoke to two HR guys last year at the company I'm working at and they told me they ditch every single resume mentioning "web technologies" in them. Funny part is when they also told me these "bad" resumes are for the vast majority H1B wannabees.

    Second. I wouldn't say we ditch resumes on that basis, but ultimately, we're a native outfit only. You can be the best damn app developer on Earth but if all you've ever used is Electron, well, I can't use you.

    What's so funny about that? Most electron turds I deal with are American in the first place, they must be trying to appeal to you.

NPM it's the bigger turd happened ever, slow and bloated. And JS today amounts the biggest enforced propietary loading method of existence in almost every web page.

Open? You wish.

>and not locked into any single big tech.

DRM and propietary cody tells me otherwise.

Say what you will about Apple, they at least still think it’s important to support and do native development, especially for their OS. Microsoft might as well have bought webOS as their new Windows replacement and admitted they’ve given up on native apps.

    Do original Macintosh binaries still run on the latest macOS? I haven't looked much at the situation on that side but I believe Apple has no equivalent to the Win32 API.

Clown shit. “We’re made our own OS a nightmare to build on so we’re gonna use JavaScript powered pseudo-VMs and make everything take 2 gigs of ram minimum”
