Electron 2.0.0 beta
Does anyone else feel that there's a huge hole in the UI world?<p>I like the electron/react/react native ecosystem - I really do, and this is coming from someone who dislikes javascript a priori. But is HTML/CSS/JS really the best we can do for desktop and mobile applications? I know responsive-cross platform saves money for a lot of startups and orgs, and I'm not saying the web stack doesn't have it's place.<p>I frequently imagine something that takes the best ideas from react/redux and from other ui and layout frameworks and lets you build something that has consistent, cross platform (desktop and mobile, maybe even web with some kind of compilation pathway to js or webasm), responsive ui, without the huge web stack. Maybe Python? It's got lots of competent developers in the market to support it. Maybe Rust or Go, if something lower-level was desired. Or language-agnostic, though sticking with one might be valuable.
