I’m inclined to believe that’s true, but I’m disappointed that the organizers haven’t made this clear in the midst of the discourse and drama.
I see all of these comments, claiming it’s banned using almost identical phrasing, which really has the hallmarks of misinformation propagation where there’s no actual primary source to back it up. That’s not conducive to a healthy discussion. The organizers have a responsibility to clear this up.
Great article! I just wanted to mention one use that’s not mentioned: Chromium Embedded Framework. I don’t think it ended up being very widely used overall, but before electron it was the best option for some similar scenarios. Google Web Designer (originally started outside of Google as Motorola Ninja or something like that) was where I saw it used in 2014 but the project was older than that.

@nixCraft @bagder in a space that’s overrun with commercial exploitation, genuine, bad, faith, actors, and grifters, these are not the bad actors that we need to be concerned with. These folks are trying to improve privacy, protections for students in a country where they have very little legislative or institutional support. They have way more of my respect than the jackass complaining about them.
Your post is shameful and you should be embarrassed
Well my employer has decided to partner with Palantir, which means it's time for me to find a new job. I was a lot more willing to make 40% less than market rate when I knew my employer wasn't funding concentration camps because they want AI coding tools.
Anyway if you need a UX designer/researcher located around the Minneapolis-St. Paul region of Minnesota, USA who knows his way around US government regulations for CMS quality reporting, healthcare, enterprise software I'm looking!
For all of you who have been so incredibly helpful, I cannot thank you enough!

Not so happy, this one :(
UPDATE 2025-09-03: I have found a new job and will be starting next week. I will post more details soon. Many thanks to everyone who helped publicize this post and to everyone who contacted me about possible work. Rust is being used in many interesting places!
-Luigi Mangione, who killed an insurance executive, was charged with terrorism.
-Vance Boelten, who killed an elected Democratic representative & attempted to assassinate many more, was NOT charged with terrorism.
Someone explain this shit?
