With what? I look periodically and I never find anything.
- pjmlp 7y agoQt has an experimental WebAssembly backend, already discussed at least twice on Qt's developer blog. Microsoft is busy pushing Blazor for .NET, and Unity is working on a 2D WebAssembly game engine already demoed multiple conferences. C and C++ can make use of Emscripten and even use SDL, POSIX subset and OpenGL mapped into browser APIs. D's LLVM based compiler, ldc, can target WebAssembly. Thus you can also write the logic in D, and do some mapping into browser APIs like canvas and WebGL. Unreal can also target WebAssembly. There is TeaVM for Java. Go compiler supports cross compiling for WebAssembly now. So plenty of information around.
- api 7y agoDo any of those generate web apps that are accessible and browser-friendly? I am quite aware of the fact that you can run desktop apps in a web window. Will have to investigate Blazer and Qt.
- maemilius 7y agoCould you elaborate on what you mean by "browser-friendly"? I would assume you actually meant "accessible and mobile-friendly", in which case the answer to that is generally "nothing does that". You need frameworks or libraries (not languages or compilers) if you want something that just does it for you.
- m_fayer 7y agoInvestigating Blazor now. It's very rough around the edges but is no less accessible and browser-friendly than React and friends.
- Crinus 7y agoWell, the original comment was about bringing Flash back and Flash isn't exactly mobile friendly.
- pjmlp 7y agoActually what many are unaware of is that for a couple of years Adobe still had Flash for mobile devices via an AOT compiler to native code, as means to address iOS as target.
- haolez 7y agoQt works really well with WebAssembly. However, you lose accessibility features and the browser's native text search won't work (as expected).
