Nana: A modern C++ GUI library

Re:Nana: A modern C++ GUI library by Klonoar on Saturday April 20, 2019 @10:48PM (#19710275)

I've written and shipped UIs with AppKit/UIKit, Qt, a Tkinter (I know...) implementation, and HTML/CSS.

HTML/CSS win for a reason. ;P

Cheaper devs.

Yeah, no, it's not "cheaper devs". This is elitist gatekeeping.

HTML/CSS/JS win because at this point there's both a mountain of features that you'd need to match in a native framework, it's cross-platform with rendering engine(s) that are mostly platform agnostic, and it's _actually documented_ unlike things like AppKit.

Someone learning HTML/CSS/JS can google their issue and find a solution or guide or what-have-you with relative ease. It's nowhere the near the same for any other framework.

I would be quite happy if HTML/CSS/JS would be able to match the tiny set of 90's RAD development, and native graphics performance, that apparently never make it to that mountain.
