A comment on The decline and fall of Java on the desktop.
- An Electron (Desktop) app
- An React Native Mobile app (that needs to be delivered through both Google & Apple proprietary channels)
Whether you loved or hated Java the language, it is hard to deny we ended up in a terrible place:
- We lost all freedom on mobile
- We rely way too much on Blink & Webkit
- We traded Java for Javascript
- It's still relatively slow
- We haven't fixed the security problem on desktop
- Devs now have to manage a lot more technologies & moving parts
