Yes, for instance Appcelerator's Titanium compiles to Tizen. HTML can be awkward but the web stack can be compiled to from a number of established frameworks.

- duaneb 13y agoHTML5 already has too many frameworks, it's not like that's the solution unless those frameworks expose new APIs that ameliorate the use of javascript, e.g. access to SIMD, to JITing code, to a full network stack instead of (at best) restricted HTTP, SPDY, and WebSockets.
- doublerebel 13y agoI think you're missing my point. By adopting the open and existing HTML5 for apps, Tizen does not have to create an entirely new app ecosystem. Existing apps on other platforms can be easily ported, easing adoption by both developers and users. (Titanium apps do have access to a more complete network stack and native code.) That being said, Blackberry tried to do the same thing (Titanium compile target, compatibility with Dalvik) and botched the launch with delays and marketing issues. So Tizen success will need far more than just HTML5/compatibility to buoy it.
