As much as I hate ads on the web, there's a reason why almost all businesses gravitate towards it. Yes, that includes Apple (ads.apple.com) There scale you can get from subscription dwarfs when compared to one you can get with free+ads

I know this isnt Apple saying it, but cant help but laugh at 'lean'. Most companies 'integrate' with a service, or is 'powered by' something, but with Apple the reality distortion field kicks in. It isnt Artifi

Really!? A good idea .. just scales? Is that how you view the world? A good idea is nothing without good execution. And execution requires patience, coordination, a good amount of luck .. and so much ideas. It is like what they say - Ideas

I guess that goes to the larger point then. OP was saying Swift for Android will finally solve all the issues of Flutter & RN, presumably meaning Apple with its $$ and might will do it. If it is a grassroots project, it has even bleak

I have no love for RN and Flutter, but what makes you think Swift on Android will be even remotely close to what Flutter and RN has? If anything, Apple will launch this and quickly forget this exist.

On Macs, users can download and install apps freely from the internet, and that platform isnt "a morass of freemium games and ad slop". Why is that for one platform, everything needs to go through AppStore while the other it is OK

This question is valid only if Apple lets apps host their own apps, bring their own payment system. Apple bans all such activities, has held the entire app ecosystem and seeks rent. If they think their offering is superior, then they shoul

As opposed to iPhones were you can .. sideload apps? Your criticism is fair, but not really relevant to the conversation here. OP was talking about design languages

This exactly is the part that lots of folks are missing. As programmers in a high level language (C, Rust, Python ..) we were merely guiding the compiler to create code. You could say the compiler/interpreter is more deterministic, but

It is right to be skeptical, but I dont see how monopoly plays into this at all. Even if we assume Google is a monopoly company with Search or Ads, how Waymo delivers has got nothing to do with Search and Ads. Perhaps you were trying to Goo

That's the wrong framing to look at. When you buy a car, do you stop to think of the taxi drivers who lost money because of that choice? Or when you grow vegetables, the potential loss of income to farmers? The right way to think about
