Seems like Atom will eventually just be a native app.
- djfm 9y agoYeah, technology loves cycles. "Hey, let's write an editor for a browser. Oh wait, we need a browser for that editor". Something good will probably come out of this eventually. I mean if they manage to turn electron into a true native cross platform app framework it's nice.

- djfm 9y agoRight. We might as well just compile our JS to Java. Instead of using web tech to build native apps I think we should focus on improving browsers so that web apps behave more like native apps and have the same capabilities. Browsers should be the cross-platform VM and webassembly is a good step in that direction.
- mrmondo 9y agoIf it does, I'll reconsider using it. I truly can't stand JavaScript 'apps'.
