- SkyMarshal 10y agoElegant in theory maybe, rough in practice.
- marssaxman 10y agoI'm really glad we're finally starting to win the dynamic library battle; it was a kludgey fix for a transient storage bottleneck that has been plaguing us with unnecessary complication for at least a decade now. Predictability is a good thing.
- ge0rg 10y agoIt's not such a good thing to have to update each and every application whenever there is a vulnerability in a library.
- nightski 10y agoMeh, I feel like it is even better because even if you could update the library indvidually you have no idea about the ramifications of such an update and what potential other vulnerabilties/bugs doing so will uncover.
- z3t4 10y agoYou could install the electron or nw.js runtime separately and then just download/distribute a compressed file with the JavaScript source code. Witch would be smaller then most programs.
