4 in c. 11 in assembly. Not so bad, really. https://i.imgur.com/r2WRnZk.png https://i.imgur.com/r2WRnZk.png

  I was about to make a joke about how many lines are required for an electron hello world but it was even more than I expected. 11 for the HTML document template 7 for the boilerplate package.json 3 more for the scripts addition to package.json 3 more for the “devdependencies” 20 for main.js from: https://electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/quick-start https://electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/quick-start A fairer assessment would be C++ with Qt to be honest though.

  write a hello world application in gtk or qt and see how much assembly you get.

      What goalpost did I supposedly move?

      Are you sure you couldn’t wrap that up in another library and just do everything in a single call?

        you jest, but in fact you could. https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox

  That’s super ironic that you’ve shown screenshot from a web application.
