I'm quite sure SpaceX can afford the commercial license of Qt. It's simply that right now, web is the best. Far from perfect, but the best.

- speedgoose 6y agoI would say the mains advantages are : * write once, run everywhere. * the amount of tools and libraries. * Modern javascript is better than c++ or python for UI * the availability of good web developers
- ZeikJT 6y ago* That is Java's slogan! * The npm ecosystem is a bit overzealous in the dependency department. Not everything is bloated inside npm or out of it but a lot of it is. * Javascript itself hasn't changed much in the way of making DOM creation/mutation easier. Custom elements, shadow DOM, etc. were nice but at the end of the day you still need to call createElement a lot and do everything manually. You're probably referring to using libraries, of which some are nice but many suffer the above-mentioned bloat problem. Event handling similarly hasn't changed much. * True enough, there probably haven't been this many of us in a long long time! More people must mean more good people.
