    Honestly? They’re based for being so easy to make

    For the record, I am a C/Dart/Rust native dev 2+ years deep in a pretty big project full of highly async code. This shit would’ve been done a year ago if the stack was web based instead of 100% native code

      Easy to make? Have you worked with JavaScript before? It’s an absolute mess and full of footguns.

      And I assume your project doesn’t use async code for shits and giggles? Async code is just as hard in JavaScript except that everything is single threaded anyway.

      And even assuming that it really is easier to make: I’d rather have fewer well made applications than hundreds of crappy ones. Each fucking application having to redistribute a whole ass browser is insane, and they’re all slow despite needing massive resources.
