01:47 What is a platform?
02:57 Linux isn't a platform
05:45 Linux has multiple platforms
07:47 Why do we need app platforms?
11:13 Parting Thoughts
But what's a platform, exactly? Basically, I'm talking about an application platform.
The best example that most people will be familiar with, will be in the smartphone world, with the iOS platform and the Android platform.
Problem is, there is NO Linux platform, and there has never been one.
That's simply because there is no
And that’s why people end up using Electron so much nowadays. :)
It’s a shame because Qt and GTK are surprisingly easy if you know C++ and C, respectively. There are also excellent bindings for other languages. IMO, they’re easier than JavaScript which I have grown a deep hatred to from mostly doing web development.
To be honest, for all its faults, I still find that the web stack is incredibly productive compared to alternatives. I wouldn’t touch Js with a ten foot pole, but with ClojureScript UI development is pure joy. Interactive style development is especially huge for this I find since you often want to build up some state and then play with the presentation. Having to restart the app, and navigate to a particular state to see the change gets tedious really fast. I’d love to see something comparable with native stacks.
I need to learn Clojure sometime.
I really can’t recommend it enough, it’s hands down one of the most enjoyable languages I’ve used. Here are some starting materials that could come in handy if you do get around to it, I put it together from stuff we use for onboarding for my team https://gist.github.com/yogthos/be323be0361c589570a6da4ccc85f58f
