Have you seen the things people have built with Electron? I wouldn't underestimate the capabilities of HTML/CSS/JS for desktop apps when you have projects like Slack, Atom, Visual Studio Code, GitKraken, the Brave browser, et

Weird. I literally JUST watched a talk by Martin Fowler on YouTube that addressed this as Twitter problem 30 minutes ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E3xfR6IBII

Atom is extremely buggy. I've had it freeze up and crash on me so many times. Very frustrating.

IntelliJ IDEA + Kotlin. Kotlin is created by JetBrains themselves and is very easy for C# devs to pick up and can be used anywhere Java would be used.

Booooooooooo. Bootstrap is the most popular CSS/UI framework on the planet. I don't get why they continue to depend on jQuery while most modern app frameworks are abandoning it...

Sass by default FTW! It says they rewrote all of the JS using ES6... Does this mean jQuery is no longer a dependency?

True, but by default it doesn't use React or Angular and provides Blaze for creating UIs. It supports React and Angular as of recently, I suspect, simply to maintain itself as a competitor to other stacks, due to the extreme popularity

Honestly, there are plenty of other options out there besides Angular and even React, despite the tremendous hype around it at the moment. Aurelia seems to be the best ideas from Angular + the best ideas from the creator's previous fra

All 3 of those are fantastic games. Cheers. Okami was rereleased on a newer console at one point wasn't it? I think it probably did a little better. But yeah, in general, I think that because AAA games cost so much to make and usually

Aurelia. http://aurelia.io https://github.com/aurelia It has the most streamlined, elegant conventions of any framework I've looked at, it focuses on writing in plain, modern JavaScript (ES2015/2016),

As someone who knows C# & JavaScript well and has been occasionally playing around with Go, I think you've convinced me to give Kotlin a try for some Android development. Hopefully it's as easy to pick up as you say. It's

Have you tried Bluemix? It's actually pretty awesome.

So, Digital Ocean doesn't have great reliable up time then? I've been using OpenShift's free hosting tier to host a Ghost blog, and it goes down CONSTANTLY, making it unusable. I was about to start paying the $5 a month plan

Bastion and Transistor have amazing atmosphere for being such simple games. The music and narration adds so much.

Is DDP or Meteor really needed though? Couldn't you easily set this up with RethinkDB using its Changefeeds killer feature for real-time + socket.io along with whatever other library/frameworks you want to use without ever touchin

"We're going to support React and Angular!" Translation: We're going to support the big JS names the general public is most aware of, because... well... please, use Meteor.

Certain things in jQuery are definitely dated & slow. It has a pretty meh implementation of promises, and the .animate library has pretty bad performance. That's why things like Velocity.js exist.

In the case of Atom, I don't think so, as I just updated to the recent version TODAY and had it freeze literally 3-4 times and fully crash once. I hear many people complain about similar issues with Atom. VSCode is in a much earlier de

I've gotta say, honestly, I'm preferring Visual Studio Code over Atom simply due to the fact that it seems MUCH more stable and lightweight. Atom is very visually appealing, and I'm a fan of the project, in general, but it co
