Electron is moving pretty quickly (and breaking APIs) at this point so you'd end up with just as many versions of the shared library as you would copies in applications.
- kuschku 11y agoBreaking APIs is not generally good either. But if a single newsreader contains more code than a full PlayStation game, you know something’s wrong. This is just Wirth’s Law in action.
- slimsag 11y agoThe very fact that we 'do not break APIs' is one of the reasons that this newsreader is 100+ MB. If Google Chrome wasn't 4,490,488 lines of code designed across years of development to, well, _support old web APIs_ -- then it would likely be much smaller. :)
- kuschku 11y agoWell, and, as the parent said, even with this you still can’t use the same version of the library even for a few months. That’s the worst out of both worlds.
