Considering that we're watching the javascript ecosystem slowly fumble its way through reinventing the technologies of the past, I'd say 1994 is pretty damn relevant.
Types. Clumsy stand-ins for synchronous behavior like async/await. Transaction managers. Threads. I'd add immutability and functional programming but really that's rediscovering technology from the midcentury.
We really are doomed to repeat history.
- scarface74 8y agoThere is the little language called C# that’s been around for a minute.
- pjmlp 8y agoIt has such a wonderful cross-platform GUI.
- scarface74 8y agoThere are no “wonderful” cross platform GUIs and that been true for over two decades.
- royjacobs 8y agoI assume you're trolling at this point but if that's not the case then the Qt company would like a word with you.
- scarface74 8y agoYes I know they exists. But my definition of “good” is does look and work like a native app? That’s not true for anything Java based or Electron or .Net.
- pjmlp 8y agoNow I am confused, after all isn't .NET the best for everything?!?
- pjmlp 8y agoMight be, but that is surely one area where .NET loses hand down to Java. Not to mention the fact that WP failed on the market, while Android strives.
- scarface74 8y agoTell that to all of the Android OEMs that are losing money... Even Google has only made less than $30 billion in profit on Android....(https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/21/10810834/android-generated-31-billion-revenue-google-oracle https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/21/10810834/android-generate...) But yes there are cross platform GUIs for .Net. https://www.hanselman.com/blog/CrossplatformGUIsWithOpenSourceNETUsingEtoForms.aspx https://www.hanselman.com/blog/CrossplatformGUIsWithOpenSour... https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/blob/master/readme.md https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/blob/master/readme.md Yeah they probably suck and don’t look are behave like native apps - but no cross platform framework does.
- pjmlp 8y agoIt is more money than .NET ever done on mobile.
- im3w1l 8y agoElectron
- scarface74 8y agoI don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say Electron is “wonderful”. Unless you like running battery draining, memory hogging, non native apps. Running Electron apps anywhere is like running iTunes on Windows.
