I’m pretty sure they’re joking and it’s a good joke at that. If serious, well then web dev deserves its reputation.

  I hope it's a joke and I'm being too sensitive, I really hope that's the case...

    Fully serious, Office for iOS and Android is done with C++ and native views.

      Yeah I heard you, but it's terrible as a decision, and honestly your opinion shouldn't be allowed on HN without huge caveats that you clearly have no relevant experience in mobile development.
      • pjmlp 7y ago
        The only ones allowed to evaluate how relevant my mobile experience is are my employers and the customers I work for, which contrary to HN, actually have to give me money for what I deliver.

          Incorrect, and alarmingly so. You are providing information here, this exposes you to judgement.

            Back home we say, advises are gratis.

        I had no idea it was possible until reading these comments, but sure enough... https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/android-and-ios-development-with-c-in-visual-studio/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/android-and-ios-devel... I won't be doing it myself, but it's interesting to learn that people do actually build apps this way. Maybe back off with the insults.

  No joke, follow the path of the likes of Microsoft and Office team.
