Maybe somebody needs to create a more palatable language, that'll transpile (I know, I know, compile) into pascal?

Very interesting, nobody mentioned how formal and quite technical this README is, it goes really into details about what it does, and even future plans laid in three sections across 30 bullet points. One bullet point in the really far future sections said "instrument JavaScript code [in a non observable way]" emphasis mine, that part was noted in several other bullet points. It seems to me every compiler/transpiler/babel-plguin changes JavaScript code in a non observable way, no? Just a theory, but that undertone sounds to me like the ability to change/inject into JavaScript code undetectably on the fly in some super easy way.
Just another day at Facebook's office...

In what do you prefer to write cross platform apps? Is there a more productive platform?
The thing with the web, is that it's very easy for those familiar with it to try and shove into everywhere, I do it too.
The amount of code that does things that are useful that one can just steal for his project is very high, with all the fiddles and bins and even more importantly, very accessible and, sometimes, when the gui code, it looks really good too, so people use Electron.
BTW, they use Electron because they run the same editor in their Azure platform, as an online editor for files in servers, so knowing this, I'd say picking Electron is a reasonable choice.
