Electron is flash for the desktop (2016)

"Dorks who care about programming, and programmers who care about creating deliverable value."

I'd rather have 95% of the code on my machines written by those from the former camp.

And if you think about it, the 5% of it is the stuff that comes & goes. Slack? Big now, but will anyone remember it in 5 years after the next big thing?

So which camp is generating the true "value"?

Did you post this from a browser or using CURL?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

And what was organizing your memory regions as you posted that? Some piece of javascript written by some hipster second week out of a hacker bootcamp or a properly designed malloc implementation?

Not everything is what's visible on the surface.

You're countering by arguing that JS is a well engineered tool created by highly experienced engineers? I guess we'll just have to agree to violently agree.

It seems like you think you're making a game-ending point here.
