I'm starting to think this is not a fight worth fighting anymore bros
Javascript is the new C

Name one example
Sebastian Morales
make an operating system in javascript
right now do it

What have native developers been doing ALL this time? Why does it still take an absurd amount of boilerplate in native code, so much that people would rather use JS and CSS????
Fucks sake native devs, how useless are you
Adrian Torres
>Javascript is the new C
It's not. JavaScript is actually useful.
Andrew Gomez
It's not boilerplate, though. There's not that much boilerplate to create a native macOS app.
The problem is that the app won't run on Windows or Ganoo Linux. Electron succeeded where Java and Swing failed.

>There's not that much boilerplate to create a native macOS app.
There is quite a lot, even when you focus on a single system. Which is absurd, even without cross platform you still have to write all this garbage.
Colton Robinson
>PC/x86 emulator
Not an operating system.
Christopher Collins
It's literally executing x86 opcodes in JS. That's orders of magnitudes more impressive than implementing a toy OS.
Andrew Flores
every single markdown editor and note taking app for once
Camden Butler
Isaiah Peterson
is this yours user?
Dylan Harris
You can call it impressive all you like. That does not make it, categorically, an operating system.
Justin Ross
No but I am intending to port it to flathub. Unless you wanna help.
Brody Robinson
Take the JS pill sister
Adrian Gomez
We have a desktop environment already so that's a start
Jeremiah Hernandez

Charles Nguyen
Before you say Gnome, the code may be written in JavaScript, but is just bindings.
Adrian Ramirez
still technically true.
kwin too uses some js
Colton Clark
and there are many window managers in the wild written in js
Zachary Reed

QML is a JavaScript DSL
Ayden Flores
Aah didn't know that. Just heard some fag talk about kwin on Any Forums.
Anyway.

Literally just use Kate
>and note taking app for once
Kate works
Camden Sullivan
He's not wrong either. KWin scripts (effects/animations etc) are written in JavaScript.
