Making it difficult to decompile the source code is a feature not a bug.


I am also curious about WebGL and/or canvas approach. This would allow bypassing the HTML and CSS mess not just JS mess.


Unless you have a good reason, I urge you to never do that. Even ignoring accessibility (which is pretty much completely ruined in this situation no matter what), you'll need to reinvent every single primitive widget you need yourself and have it work the same as it does on all platforms.

That's a shitload of code shipped to the user before you even write a single byte of code for your application!


No doubt someone will build that library though


It's been done, multiple times. See qt, gtk, etc.

Personally this revolution can't come soon enough.


Didn't Firefox also used to be like this? They reinvented every UI widget, and as a result felt like garbage on Mac.


Word. The sooner the better.


If you write all the rendering yourself, you can just output to a canvas but that kind of defeats the purpose. Having a JS layer for WebGL that calls into WEBASM for calculations etc should work fine though.


Legal ones who were vetted or just random people off the street?


Also family courts that punish providers in case of a divorce. Better play it safe and single.


Divorce is a relatively new thing. You used to just work on your problems and stay together for the family. Family courts are the symptom not the problem.

I think western society causes (or promotes?) a bit of hyper-individualism which makes cohabitation really difficult. We also have much easier access to alcohol, drugs, and gambling - aka “family destroyers”.


I think also.. not dying. In the past it was common for people to have multiple marriages but with no divorce, I wonder what the stats say about median duration over time?


It used to be you had to stay together no matter what. It is not that people inthe past would miraculously solve marital problems - they often just had to stay despite violence, abuse or simply sever partners disregard. Except prohibition era, acess to alcohol and gambling was easy. Prohibition itself passed because alcohol situation was very bad.

And it simultaneously used to be that women were severely disadvantage in workplace making a men practical necessity - no matter what the relationship looks like. That is not people solving problems for family sake.

True story. My grandparents were separated for the final 30 years of their lives, after all their children left the house. But they never divorced.
