A few years ago Adobe open sourced flex http://flex.apache.org/ http://flex.apache.org/
This is an "write once, deploy many" that has a bit different offering then html5, specifically, it deploys natively, allows offline usage, can be set up to use native ui elements, has a gpu accelerated animated vector engine available, etc.
- Erwin 13y agoI really like Flex. It's supposedly flowed and buggy and abandoned though. Yet I can easily write a dozen lines of code with my 1990s GUI knowledge that display 20,000 items in a sortable table and work at full speed in any browser -- while having endless performance problems/memory leaks when using HTML and various "data tables" plugins. Maybe in 10 years we'll have something that will let you build a GUI right in the browser and will work cross-browser properly.
