I hope it doesn't work out. I would hate to live in a HTML-JS only future they are trying to build. And please don't tell me about transpilation, because it's crap.
Yes, because an Objective-C or Java only future is so much brighter!
It's a good thing neither of those platforms support HTML and JS.
That's not what I said. No single language future is better. Innovation thrives when you give people options.
the web only provides Javascript, so locking us down to the web locks us down to Javascript
because neither Ios or Android have a web browser ! yeah...
Surely you mean "HTML-JS powered by your favorite backend" future right?
"non-optional language #1 - non-optional language #2 powered by your optional back-end (because we have no way of enforcing it)" - that's "Open Web" for you.
