Why is it that we have to bring web technologies to the native platforms rather than using native platforms on the web?

- tuukkah 9y agoThe web is open, standardised, has the mindshare and the runtime (browser) is everywhere. There have been initiatives to bring e.g. Qt or GTK to web, but no success AFAIK.
- brad0 9y agoYeah you're right. Open standards makes sense. It's a shame that no one takes something like the old Android codebase and makes it for web in the canvas. Is that even possible?
- chr1 9y agoWe are doing both, see webassembly, it's just that web tech is simpler and there are more people who enjoy it, so it is used more often if performance requirements allow.
