Ha, glad I wasn't the only one.

  It's interesting how the javascript ecosystem sucks you in until you stop being aware that there is anything else outside your bubble and assume everyone will understand your acronyms. But then, it's not new. Heard people saying they know "the Visual C language" ages ago. Guess that's how MS started its monopoly. What's worrying this time is that they're redefining "cross platform" to "runs in the same emulator".

    > What's worrying this time is that they're redefining "cross platform" to "runs in the same emulator". I don't think this is a recent phenomenon. Java, and many others, have attempted the same trick.

    Yeah, that happens to everyone, I think. Web devs forget that everything isn't (some form of) website, Microsoft-ecosystem folks tend to forget that there's a whole world outside of that bubble, GNOME developers... infamously... seem to think no other Linux desktops exist, functional programmers frequently seem to believe that everything should be functional. Honestly, it's probably just a side effect of only having a finite number of hours in the day; to master one system, you tend to forego having enough time for others.
