I agree.
At work, one of my projects is a cross-platform scientific C++/Qt application. It is currently open, and with 5 charts (hundreds of data points each) and a full-blown interactive 3D representation of a model, it sits at 160 MB.
Seriously, I understand the trade-offs of writing HTML+JS vs. C++, but at some point we must start taking into account the amount of waste (energy, resources) that hybrid apps create.
- qudat 9y agoRAM is cheap, why should we care?
- gusmd 9y agoRAM is not cheap at all. Especially for many of your costumers running on limited resources. Also, a chat app is generally not the "main" application and should strive not to deprive the system of its working memory. But, hey, that's just my opinion. Luckily your users agree with you (looks like many of Slack's don't!).
