   I don't remember when I've read this anecdote, I think was about Sun and X11 (or the equivalent), where employees can use the first free deskt they see and they can login from that "dumb" terminal to their actual machine

   I'm only sitting here, waiting for my thread_locals to get broken.... or maybe they are handled magically somehow

   When you start having 100 applications (a typical game may have that amount), even if only 10 of them are thorouhgly tested, you end up needing that pile driver, or you end up compiling all 100 of these on every presubmit. Just sayin.

    AFAIK, it relies on MSVC and OS specifics, hence may never see the light beyond MSVC/Windows. There were several big github issues of folks converting from C++/CLI to other ways.. Actually this survey from 2020 - https:/&#x2

    There few requirements (in my mind) for proven GUI toolkit (at least on Windows) apart from UX points: - Support multiple windows - Support docking, and dock-in-dock - Deal gracefully with Remote Desktop services If you start with UI

    Both having common Dart code, although not common UI is probably still good win for a lot of things.

    Huge fan of bazel, and was using rules_docker, but these still do not work under Windows last time I checked, which is my main dev platform. I know I can probably tweak it through WSL2, so it's on my list of things to try.

    Coworker of mine is using Fyne (for Go). So far the one issue that was found was the use of OpenGL, which on certain video cards, on Windows, in a remote-desktop session may not work (it works if you have NVIDIA drivers for example), or if

    Docking would be nice to have too! like what MSVC or Qt has (built-in in Qt is not that great, but Visual Studio is one to follow). It's a must for content creators with multiple monitors, especially if they want the layout to be prese

    Is impeler going to affect (in good way) the performance/latency on desktop too? (I think it's mostly for iOS now, right)?

    yup - it just shows how little I know about the subject... agh! - It was bit spooky looking at these, and I thought I zoomed in but by the time I took the screenshot it was way oof

    But you don't have only Linux, you have (and probably first) OSX and/or Windows and then Linux, and you need an API that works well in that case. Being an in-process dll/so plugin, while fraught with perils gets you to avoid

    You can't ship reasonable plugin for most of the popular content creation tools - be it audio, video effects, 3d modelling, etc. without support for dynamic/shared libs. Okay, maybe you can - at the risk of performance cost - e.g.

    Another lead was from godbolt's use of wine to run cl.exe (msvc) - https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer/blob/... - I just learned about `firejail` so maybe interpreting this wrong - but

    I did, especially around +listdll, and made me wonder whether going to native vs builtin would do any difference, I'm slowly getting more to know it, as in the past only used it to launch a game or obscure windows thing on Linux, but n
