Sigh, reading about javascript hacks reminds me how horrible the application development environment for browsers is. Web browsers are fundamentally not designed to enable the development of complex modern applications. That needs to change if web-apps are the future.
- hiker 15y agoI didn't see anything horrible being said about the development for browsers. The problems were mostly XNA functionalities that he hadn't implemented in his XNA to html5 converter.

- mathgladiator 15y agoI like to think that web development with all these new "features" enable people a nice playground to get hooked. While I'm disappointed that the there is no easy "mode 13" to get started with fun graphics programming, I'm optimistic that a platform is getting built that enables people to iterate on making things fun that will then drive people to go deeper in the stack.
