I still can't get over the fact that even Microsoft uses an electron app for their own OS.
If not even Microsoft itself writes native code for their own bloody OS then we're just doomed. It's just all so sluggish.
- dsego 5y agoYeah, what ever happened to their Silverlight platform?

Silverlight development framework is currently only supported on Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11, with support for Internet Explorer 10 ending on January 31, 2020. There is no longer support for Chrome, Firefox, or any browser using the Mac operating system.”
- Closi 5y ago> If not even Microsoft itself writes native code for their own bloody OS then we're just doomed I agree a native client would be great, although I assume this choice is more because Microsoft wanted it to be multi-platform across iOS, Android, Web, Mac, Linux, Windows, Chromebook e.t.c. and that would either require building it multiple times, or building it in html/js as the lowest common denominator (web).
