I did it with Sciter as a UI layer of Node.js (I am an author of Sciter) Sciter.Node.js takes 30 Mb or RAM in minimal configuration. It adds 4mb (sciter.dll/so) to original Node.js distribution. It runs all windows in single UI thread

In fact colonies were the engine that created Western Democracies. At ancient Greece time, where democracy as a term was coined, "demos kratos" meant power of voting citizens. Where the citizen is a "respectful person" -

Try my HTML-NOTEPAD then ( https://html-notepad.com ). Documents there are just HTML files that will be readable for centuries to come.

I had that suspicion too when looking on how much resources they put into Visual Code editor.

Patches is not the only mechanism to keep code in sync. For two engines forked from the same source (same architecture and even same code tree structure) it is relatively easy to copy/paste feature implementation, no?

Blink and WebKit cannot be considered as separate implementations - their codebase is in sync AFAIK.

I am using it on day per day basis. It has some problems but works for me in 99.9% of cases.

Started seriously thinking about converting Sciter to full scale web browser. Anyone is willing to invest in that?

That's just the disaster. And the end of W3C standard development process. AFAIR it should be 3 independent implementations of the feature in order for Draft to reach Recommendation status. So technically all that means that web stan

Yeah, thanks a lot. That is really it. Same as in D lang. In fact D's array is just a slice. At least it used to be so 10 years ago. GC there does the rest - as in Modula-3.

"re-interpret the struct to a pointer (length would simply be truncated)." Wrong. It will be pointer-to-pointer. Reinterpretation (to treat struct as a pointer to C string) is only possible if you have something like this: s

Question is not clear. The Slice is just an address of memory chunk combined with the length of that chunk. That's somehow better than "C strings" - that are just pointers and so you need to do some computation if you need to

Yeah, this concept is quite old. It reincarnated quite many times: in D language by Walter Bright where arrays are just such slices. Or by Andrei Alexandrescu in its range<T> thing: http://www.informit.com/articles&#x2

No, this is pure C++ (non-managed) thing. It is used strictly in read-only places. It makes absolutely no sense to use things like std::string (and allocate it each time) when you need to pass string or fragment of string or array to consum

Thanks for the comment, that really interesting. First of all, FrontPage is a web-page-editor and html-notepad is not. It means that html-notepad can be used to edit textual content/fragments of web pages, but not the whole page. That&
