Web dev is not tightly coupled, but browser dev is, and when you do web dev you're essentially buying into a set of monoliths that have finally after 30 years come together by committee just enough so that you only have to conform to one single way of doing web dev. Javascript has quite seriously sucked for a long time and only recently got a bit better, and HTML and CSS are still trash, so don't talk to me about "dictate basically everything" as if that's not the case there, too.
Unity is the equivalent of a browser, not an app or even app framework. It just lives in a world where the competitors haven't done the committee thing to ensure interop (and never will).
- skohan 5y agoThis is an extremely strange comparison to me. Web is a standards-based, implementation independent platform. That is completely, categorically different from Unity, which is a proprietary tool for making applications. Unity isn't the browser, it's web-flow or square-space. Except it doesn't give you artifacts which are interoperable with other tools at the end.
