Google is using its cash cow, search to fund lots of new innovative projects. If you break it up, you lose lots of innovation. I do think that they should prevent Google from killing nice startups by copying their services (hardly ever happ

I really like this approach. I never liked any cross platform solution such as Cordova or Xaramin. The approach google is taking is a best-of-both-worlds approach: - Latest uix on the native platforms - Shared model layer in the apps I woul

You are not getting the quality native ui's using xaramin. Its always a common-denominator ui. Thus lacking new native features.

When I started go, i also thought it was nuts. And it indeed clutters your code a lot. But in the end, i like it. Golang is a really simple language, but all the simple concepts, and the lack of OOP, forces you to think more about your code

Thats indeed a good point. The question remains. How often should you redesign your app? Sometimes an innovation (such as touch screens) forces you to rethink the uix.

It also decreases your user satisfaction from my experience. Writing a full native app, versus an cordova based app is still a world of difference. So for business apps, data input apps etc, cordova is fine, but dont try writing your next k

In Appengine web requests often kick of tasks in queues todo the heavy lifting. This makes the response of web requests very fast. However you dont need queues when you need synchronous results, or whenever the task is small.

I thinks this guy is missing the point. Google did uix research and come up with a more usable design philosophy, which makes all apps more consistent. They are now executing those grand-design rules. In the end, apps should be more familia

I kind of disagree with this article. With go its so easy to get started with http that most of the time you dont even need a framework. If you do, most good frameworks use the following function as a common basis: func(http.ResponseWri

Interesting, But i installed the app on my nexus 5 and used it... It feels like i'm opening the browser. The app doesn't feel native. Input elements are weird. The dialog is weird. The animation is sluggish. And the spinner animat

Indeed. That's what i try to say. I think the knowledge regarding the shadow-dom and true standards-based web-components is not widely spread yet among devvers.

While I like the project and effort put into this, I think, if you considering using this project, you should also look at google's own polymer project. Its based on the industry standard web-components. https://www.polymer-

Omg. Java is getting crippled. The language was never designed with lambda's in mind. And now we have Java 8 with "not-really-lambdas" But some kind of interface magic. Its just ugly as hell.

In amsterdam this is also happening to my knowledge. The main reason is that the city center is becoming too expensive for native-amsterdammers with a medium income to live. Lots of high-income (often expats) are willing to pay more for liv

While i like the animation, the fact that you have to "drag" your finger over the screen, to "tap" on a button, seems weird to me.

Note that dowloading an app (.exe for windows, or an apple app) and running it, is just as bad. Downloading an installer, and running it, is also insecure. So the question is... What is the proper alternative? I think the best alternatives

While i agree with most of your points. I'm an veteran android engineer learning iOS. And i have to say, the xcode storyboard functionality makes it very easy to write a simple app. However you have to learn all the drag-n-drop options

I'm a python developer myself. I just started with Go. I'm just saying that Go fits microcontrollers better. Its cool to use Python. It doesn't matter much. I'm just saying that cool would also have been a good fit.

First of all, if you want to use python, use it. However go is imho more suitable since - Python doesnt do parallel programming well, Go does (and low level programming is often async) - Go compiles to machinecode already (it will be faster

Well, writing in Go is just as nice as writing in Python in my opinion. But I understand the whole point of these are to support python. Thats ok.
