For a company like Palantir, I would imagine most of their clients are running older browsers, possibly even IE <10 still.

I'm not familiar with their product, but a web app would certainly introduce more developer time spent on keeping cross-compatibility with older browsers while a Java/native app is practically WYSIWYG.

Maybe two fun data points:

-- We achieve magnitudes higher visual scale via GPU client/cloud computing... while running in a browser

-- We intersect with some of Palantir's customers (though we're more fortune 2000 sec/fraud/etc.), and are deploying fine. WebGL is ~5 years old.

This may also be a good point to note.. The Graphistry team is ~doubling! If scaling visual analytics for cybersecurity, anti-fraud, etc., sounds worthwhile, please send your CV/LinkedIn/Github to [email protected] !
