Ideally we would have UI framework that can target both web and native.
Or maybe some kind of next gen HTML that is targeted for maximum performance (like webassembly is to javascript).

- dotancohen 9y ago> Ideally we would have UI framework that can target both web and native. What is ideal about that? Ideally we would have a vehicle that can target both trips to the local shop and a vacation to Morocco. What? I like having a separate bicycle and airplane.
- krzat 9y agoThe main enemy are Electron apps and this kind of framework would perhaps eliminate them. Also I would prefer my flying car with autopilot over airplane.
- dotancohen 9y agoThat's the problem: Electron _is_ the one-language-everywhere framework and that's why a chat client or a text editor has a 200 MiB runtime.
- krzat 9y agoMaybe I should have been more specific. Ideal UI framework would generate HTML+webassembly for the web target, but native code for native targets. Alternatively, there would be smart browser engine which can strip itself from unused modules during deployment.
