Backend people use Go in my company. They do great things with it. It works well enough when the interface between a Go program and another one is a socket kind of thing. But we also have a couple system utilities for embedded computers wri

For client side Qt has good GPU support but only for QML. All QML is drawn on GPU by default (expect text I think, which uses Harfbuzz) but all Qt Widgets are drawn on CPU. However things like KDE's Wayland uses direct OpenGL calls for

Windows standard C and C++ ABI is stable since 2017. So the last 3 releases of the Visual C Compiler and C runtime hasn't changed the ABI. However Windows also has a lower level system API / ABI i.e. Win32 that's always stabl

Yup. Because installing (or doing anything with) Latex sucks. Packaging sucks, settings things sucks, every package inventing its own syntax sucks. Overleaf solves some of those problems. It still doesn't help you a lot with nonsense e

Reached? Win32 has been the most stable userspace ABI for Linux for more than a decade (or even 2?). Wine is a really old project and Win32 API / ABI has always been stable. The implementation of the API / ABI was very patchy earl

For regular apps the toolkit (Qt / GTK / GDI / Cocoa) handles it. They hide the inner bits of the underlying OS / Graphics API from the apps. Web nowadays is a very free-form environment coming with cross-platform APIs.

This is one of the places that "do one thing" principle breaks down. Or a bad habit became a bad definition for the use case of a command and it stuck for newbies. `cat` usually does one thing: concatenate the contents of the inpu

In theory it is possible to write raw Binder calls to various Android services, skipping JNI in many places. However, it is basically rewriting the entire OS API and structure from scratch.

Not just garbage collection but also the way hardware work is done with languages that allow you to write one-to-one memory representations in order to be able to drive raw interfaces of hardware. A GC language almost always comes with a re

You can. At least with C and C++. It is just tedious. You can provide the object files of the closed program or reduce it down to single object file.
