If you wanted to develop a cross-platform native desktop / mobile app in one framework without bundling / using a web browser, only QT comes to mind, which is C++. I think there are some bindings though.

C++ does not have a function keyword at all, I wonder why did they add it in the first place.

I'm using typed IDs in TypeScript with template literal types. I.e. `type UserId = `user_${string}` I've written a blog post about it a while ago [1] One can argue that this pollutes runtime, however, it is a feature to me. When t

I think the bigger problem would be license key sharing. If there's no server involved, there's no way (?) to prevent the same license key from being shared freely on the Internet and being used an unlimited amount of times, is it

The same Europe that introduces Cyber Resilience Act? Good luck. Imagine how many businesses will not be created because no one wants to risk burdening themselves with obligatory by law, 5 years of security maintenance of the product. It do

I remember that another comical argument was performance. Supposedly, having extensions run in the background all the time is bad. So it's better to constantly, completely re-initialize them whenever an event wakes them up.

I am not sure if it's worth it though. As you have pointed out, QML is buggy. Chromium's rendering engine is probably the most stable and polished GUI toolkit there is, not to mention a cross-platform one too. Throughout the last

A country that was aligned ideologically with USSR is an understatement. They were under occupation as a satellite state. Those people did not sign up for communism in 1945 willingly.

No, Rider is also a C++ IDE but it's focused on gamedev. Live++ is mostly meant for gamedev, it only works on Windows.

I for one started working on a new project in C++ rather than Rust. I think it's unclear whether Rust is going to be the successor at this point. It's probably never going to pick up in the games industry, QT is C++ (and Rust bind

It's a wrong comparison. A high-level language is usually good enough for a desktop app because there's not much ongoing computation happening. It's only input processing and small, infrequent updates to the view in response
