You can use that but you can also bundle Electron apps with WebKit/Blink if you want. Both cases are possible but using the "Windows way" leads to smaller downloads since it doesn't require bundling the engine.

I don't think we can say that Brazilian CompSci is oriented towards embedding. I studied at the university where Lua and Céu were created, so my personal experience is biased towards such languages and yet, I don't remember us foc

Circa 1999 REBOL was our language of choice at our tiny company. It allowed our small team to develop faster than our competitors. We still did a ton of PHP and Java because our clients required it but lots of our internal tools were REBOL

Yes, I went to the link quite happy because I thought it was related to AppleEvents and maybe Apple Scripts. Your app is definitely cool, congratulations on your work but the name got me fooled. PS: Maybe the HN people haven't used Mac

It is even better. It has ABI compatibility with BeOS, it can run x86 BeOS apps (not PPC apps though)

There are many clones. Check out "mateduino"[2] which is made in the south of Brazil and also the one from robocore which is made in the southeast. There are others. The ones from robocore are great[1]. [1]: https://www

Taxes and greediness play a strong role in Brazil. For example, I just imported 10 Tessels to start a class on IoT. So they charged 98% taxes, (60% import taxes + 20% icms + 18% of administrative fee from UPS).

It is like China and the shanzai spirit, first you clone then and make it sustainable then you innovate... (this is my personal opinion, I may be wrong). I believe that supporting local non innovative shops is better than having no local sh

My recommendation is a bit different, instead of that, try looking for a local manufacturer and support them. Here in Brazil, people go for the cheap aliexpress clones to the point where some of our own manufacturers are closing shop. In th

That is not true to all countries and regions. For example, in Brazil a raspberry pi 3 will cost a bit more than USD 100 which is a lot of money for many people and prevent it from being acquired by low and middle income classes which are a

Oberon and its siblings are awesome. I believe that to fully appreciate Oberon & friends, you need to have a bit of context on its creation and usage. Oberon is a language by Niklaus Wirth, so it is not a C-like language, it is a differ

I didn't downvoted you, actually, I agree with you. GDP is not the best way to measure or have this type of discussion. GDP proves to us that the "country is rich", HDI tells us that "this richness is not distributed&quo

It is a great deal because it shows that the money is there and the problem lies elsewhere in society. A poor country with poor GDP and HDI is in a very hard situation. A country with high GDP and poor HDI has a chance of solving its proble

I completely agree with you. HDI is a much better index and measurement. This is actually what we use in social programs here. The GDP comment I made is that this is not a "poor country", it is instead a country full of wealth ine

Samstave, Just a bit of nitpick to save you some trouble in the future. Brazil is not poor. Brazil is the seventh world economy, if you count the number of nations in north america and europe, being the seventh world economy is a great deal
