They're not wrong, but that also doesn't mean Qt is not good. It just means they're optimising for ease & speed of shipping software over resource usage. Building on top of a modern web browser (Electron basically) gets y

I suspect the problem is as always, political. The standards committee is dominated by compiler vendors, who at this point are desperate to cast C in the dustbin of history, or at least put it in deep freeze, and are eager to push their oth

No ordinary people are competent enough, even for Linux these days. The tech people tend to over-exaggerate their belief that average people can't think beyond hitting a button.

Your point is very valid except aesthetic redesign shouldn't impose performance penalties. Or if they do, they should ideally be opt in settings. Other than that, yes, computers can also be used as a creative space to explore art &

It's not even this. It's just that for vast majority of 'average' people, they just use whatever OS comes with their devices. "Installing an OS" is an alien concept for most people. So it is automatically eithe

Because the vast majority of engineers working on the code base are employed by the management. They can't just do their own thing & remain employees. Plus the FF code is controlled by Mozilla corp. You have full freedom (as an o

Ultimately this has to be addressed politically. Technical contortions cannot forever make up for what are essentially broken societies and malfunctioning political systems.

Maybe, but Rust is also targetting higher levels of the stack like Webassembly, so I wouldn't say Rust is only meant for maximum bare metal performance/safety. Lots of higher level applications are also now being written (or rew

In the case of GNOME it is not apathy towards choice but corporate backing. Companies that do business with Linux like Redhat, Canonical, will benefit greatly if the vast number of options that the Linux ecosystem has can be culled to a cer

I guess that statement is comparing C++ with other high level languages. Not assembly. After all, one can drop down to assembly from any language. But "theoretically" is not interesting. What's more interesting is what is pra
