Thanks for these! Proton is interesting, I think the space has a lot of potential.
I'm concerned that someday html might be the standard for gui system markups, that could go wrong easily.
Part of my perspective on this, maybe yours as well, is the amount of projects in electron that just didn't need to exist in the first place. Guys writing email clients, for example. Nobody is going to use something like that. Casual users will prefer the browser and power users need mega-apps like Thunderbird to be productive enough.
I've been hoping Elm guy would try and bring Elm to Qt or OpenGL or something like that. I think desktop apps have a lot to learn from FRP, which is prevalent in web tech, or at least more so than it has been in the past.
It almost reminds me of Emacs, ya know? Everything and the kitchen sink, and the plumber, and his truck, and the Home Depot. Unnecessary!
Anyways thanks for your comments. Your experience is helpful!
Definitely, and thank you for your perspective! I totally agree WRT FRP. I have a friend that swears by FRP on Android. I believe he uses RxJava and RxKotlin.
