Chris MartinI think Electron got an unfair rap. Yes, nobody wanted to incur the cost of each application carrying its own electron bundle. But the solution was it should have been part of the desktop platform. It makes no sense that if you're a web application you build on top of this fantastic standard rendering engine with runtime dev tools, and if you're a native application you render to pixels
Michal Bryxí@chris__martin I never understood why this was not done as “for this app you need to install this runtime (chrome?)”. Can be even done transparently that the installer prompt kicks in when first such app is installed. Rest would just skip.
@MichalBryxi The world came to revile that pattern after the early years of Java I guess :)
@chris__martin Java was a horrible abomination to … anything really. #shivers
