I'm thinking mostly on a scenario where browsers could have a competition of existing languages (C, C++, Java, Lua, etc).

Such a sad day for an industry! In a slightly different turn of events, web software ecosystem perhaps could be different from the pile of hacks on top of hacks it is now.

May I recommend looking into Flutter? I'm sure you've heard of it, but not sure people realize how mature it is and sick its internal design is, which allows writing native beautiful UI apps for iOS/Android/Desktop and

I was comparing iOS app vs desktop app. Back then when I was using Nokia N900, I made PyQT version of Anki for Maemo platform, but I reused some of the python code of Anki, instead of reimplementing it from scratch. I'm still thinking

What about desktop app?

HTML is a typesetting engine. It's not a "UI language" and never has been. I don't know why would anyone think it's a good choice to do UI apps. The fact we use it on a web is a historical accident and causes a lot

Thanks for sharing, it looks great from the start. Is iOS/MacOS only? Any chance it's going to be open-sourced?

So much this. I use Anki for more than a decade, and every single time there is a touch of frustration that Anki UX stuck in mid-2000. Another super annoying feature is that historically Anki is free except iOS – somehow mentality of "

I wish more people knew how good Flutter for desktop already is. So far it's a competitive advantage for early adopters.

While I completely understand your thinking, it makes me sad — web tech stack is the worst solution for UI apps one can imagine, and yet we have no choice but use it to reach more users and decrease distribution of our apps. I recently star

Programming is not about coding or knowing technical intricacies. It’s a two step process: 1) understand the universe 2) explain it to the three years old Coding comes as a part of the second step, but domain knowledge is crucial f

That's awesome! I remember that project, yes :) BTW, there is a community for people exploring new ways of coding - https://futureofcoding.org . You might want to join it, if not yet.

That'd be definitely a whole new level, yes, but I think the simplicity of one-way diode communication has its own benefits.

I'm actually planning to make Go+Flutter application, which will work on iOS/Android, Desktop and Web. Out of curiosity, what's your use case?

Hey, great stuff, but my question is whether produced visualization/graph is similar to how would you "see" the code in your head yourself? The problem of familiarizing/navigating textual codebase is embarrassingly unsol

But HTML/CSS/JS is horrible experience even for non blind people :( I haven't learn much about Godot yet (but I will after this post), but Flutter solved accessibility in declarative widget UIs in a way that might be a good e

No, that investment was for establishing good relationship. There were no attempts or discussions to marry or bridge protocols.

Most vegans are actually quite quiet about it, so it’s a sort of survivorship bias, where you simply have no way to find out how many non vocal vim users out there :)

Second the opinions above, but I was also looking for some sort of explanation of why is it free (maybe some innovative idea allowed to reduce costs for long-term support or smth like that)

Another great experience I want to share is the online bookchallenge I participated in, organized by Dmitry Dubilet (founder of Monobank). It marries simple economic incentives design with love to reading books. The idea is that each partic

We run a group in Barcelona where we meet once per week and read the book aloud. It's technically not a "book club", but rather "pronunciation improvement group" – while we read, an organizer who is a native-speaker
