If to speak about browser technology as a GUI toolkit then there are three big things that are greatly underestimated. 1. Bubbling/Sinking(Capturing) event propagation schema. With that schema a container knows what event is passed to

What is the main goal of it? By feature set it looks close to D lang so asking. Yet, have you considered to implement TypeScript instead? Having native compiler of TS (or at least subset of it) would be beneficial.

Just in case, I've answered similar question "Why are C++ libraries mostly paid such as QT, Poco, and Sciter?" on Quora: https://qr.ae/TS4BUI

Yeah, and it is close to my Sciter logo: https://sciter.com/ :) Seems like I am not alone in using Yin and Yang metaphor here.

That's why I think having multiple browser implementations is beneficial. Proposal to Democrats: to unite with Republicans in one party as Republicans have "better development tools".

Could you elaborate on "Poland was occupied by Russia"? Let's put alone that in 89 it was USSR so Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, etc. all together. In any case there were no Russian troops stationed in Poland. Quite opposite, P

Not sure why is this such a big deal. I can imagine that US will also disconnect itself if hostile access to critical infrastructure is at stake. China is permanently semi-connected for that matter.

What do you expect from React in 2D games? React is just a procedural method of UI rendering. That's what pretty much all games do already. So is the question.

Not sure I understand the achievement. That type of rendering is more about GPU load than of anything React (DOM) related. As of DOM rendering of comparable number of nodes then this: https://terrainformatica.com/2019/0
