I am hopeful for the other half to land as well - heres to hoping that something like piet and druid results in a completely rust based Application delivery platform that ships in the browser.

Building performant UIs has become a lost art across the entire industry. As a junior engineer I was given a hard time if any screen did not load in 250ms saying that was the cliff beyond which humans perceive things as slow. Now I have had

Someone - please commoditize mobile phone hardware. I want to be able to get a phone and assemble my on stack on it. Without any playstores / subscription services / location tracking / snooping built in.

For the category of apps I work on, this will finally make the browser a real alternative. (I need access to fast local IO).

Could you elaborate a bit what generational storage means? If you get a brand new machine - how does it get configured in 15 mins?

The cloud that creates an Itunes like solution for OSS, creating a business model for OSS and earning the respect of developers will make bank like Apple did. Am hoping for one of the cloud players to adopt this strategy. Disclaimer: Views

I had similar hopes when Intel acquired Altera, however think Intel managed to completely botch that acquisition. I now believe Intels going through a phase where they seem to be struggling to get things out of the door on time (like 10nm,

I would be more excited if there was evidence that graphics card vendors and platform vendors were onboard. Ie some commitment that webgpu is the replacement for Vulkan / Metal / DirectX / OpenGL (with backers of each of thes

I dont care about what API wins, but the current stalemate is very disappointing. For all its flaws OpenGL was lingua franca for the longest time, now that Apple has deprecated it, I hope it gets replaced by a single credible alternative. T

Thanks for this information, it helps. The issue for me is that the target audience is probably < 10k people globally. The tool would act as a serious productivity multiplier for those 10k people (and those people are very well paid). In

The reason I asked the question was to find pointers to people to talk to about their experience making money off open source. I have been wanting to build tools in some domain and am struggling with how to monetize desktop based software t

Think BinaryNinja has been acting pretty effectively as a competitor to IDA Pro. Its much cheaper than IDA, has a good API and I have been a very happy customer.

Could you elaborate a bit on the compile times? Python is an interpreted language, so am surprised to see that as a pain point.
