I develop desktop apps that are run exclusively virtualized, and don't really have to deal with either set of problems. From a developer perspective I'd say it's a pretty sweet spot, as you get the best of both worlds to some extent.
- stinos 6y agoThat's an interesting point, but I'm not sure how well this works for e.g. communication with low latency harware?
- codebolt 6y agoGranted, communicating with any type of hardware on the users machine is a major challenge. We've had to spend significant effort just troubleshooting printer issues. If you need low latency, virtualization is likely a non-starter. The upshot is that the latency between our apps and the application server/database (hosted in the same domain) is much lower than for a conventional web app.
