Do you think it's a coincidence that some of the most used and loved desktop applications lately are written in JS/HTML? import_pkt_ws_btc_deribit_v2.py Could it be that it's extremely hard to do these kind of applications in traditional GUI frameworks?
- pjmlp 8y agoCould it be that many JS devs don't bother to learn how GUI frameworks are able to do stuff where Web is still catching up with the 90's?
- atq2119 8y agoYou're perhaps more snarky than necessary, but I think you're getting to the core of the problem. The web has unfortunately made JS a very common first language, and created an army of people who know JS. Then rather than learn, say, C++ and Qt for building cross-plattform GUI, they stick to the language they know even though it leads to inferior results.
