- still_grokking 4y ago> Nothing desktop is going to be that vertically integrated easily Why? Are there any technical reasons? I think this is a pure framework / system-API question.
- drewtato 4y agoOnly things I can think of is that for windowed apps, you have to wait for the OS to hand you mouse events, since the mouse may be on another window, and you have to render to a window instead of directly to the framebuffer.
