Why is state management a problem? Could you give a sample scenario? Have all screens be tied to an application session instead of managing page per page. A given screen stays put the entire session (although may be hidden or removed as nee

Functional (FP) tends to be a "personality fit" thing. Many who do just fine in procedural and/or OOP don't transition to FP well. FP shops have tried since the early 60's to stay viable and expand, but usually fail

Oil-industry fees and taxes subsidizes many services in TX.

The flip side is that specialty services and shops are more likely to be available. This includes medical services. One may have to drive for a day or use airlines to reach the equivalent leaving from an isolated area.

Re: [Uses] a tree as data structure. This allows for more flexible layouts than the column-based approach used by other window managers. I would say the best technique depends on the situation. Sometimes column-oriented setup is more conv

Do you mean the operating system's tools, or application design style? I'm mostly focusing on CRUD application development, and perhaps design tools (graphics, CAD, documents, image processing, etc.). Web "standards" (co

Note that the oil industry-related taxes and fees tend to subsidize TX coffers. Without plentiful oil, TX would probably have higher taxes.

Re: "too bad there are no good alternatives to this" What about the Tk/Gtk family of products?

What does the Tk family lack to make "thrivable"? It doesn't have built-in resizable editable data grids, but that gap alone is not a show-stopper.

Re: "I often need something that just works similarly to how a traditional desktop application works, looks be damned." It's annoying how many dump efficient UI design to chase the latest fads. We Vulcans cry.

I believe languages should allow the programmer to define the relationship between one code block and another. This includes scope and state relationship. Think more powerful lambdas with better interface syntax and options. OOP languages

People disagree widely on what OOP really is/means. I've read and been in many definition debates. Even defining what inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation is, is also a can of worms.

I believe the argument is that Chrome's code-base is becoming the de-facto browser standard, which will allegedly simplify things by making a stable platform. But it's been hard to predict browser trends. Look how Chrome came out
