Damn, that's a webview? I was making fun of Windows for making the Start Menu in React but this is embarrassing.

The entirety of pajeetOS is javascript.

I've used macos for testing purpose
my first impression was all the user interactions feel like javascript

So long as it's not React, it's fine. The thing that actually makes webpages slow is React and similar frameworks. If JavaScript is used mindfully, it's fine.

and I'm not sure from the screenshot. I mean it says "react", but maybe it's just a word they use for something in the code.

Apple's kernel and some of their subsystems are actually open source and it gives a sneak peak into how these companies treat the actual underlying OS.
I'm convinced they just have a few oldfags around to maintain that part of the system. And most development is focused on eternally trying to unfuck their webshit apps.
The same goes for Microsoft.
>>
>>108961532
>>108961539
Why, is "mindfully" something a jeet would say? Well ok, look, here's the thing though: if you want complex beautiful UIs, you'll end up reinventing some kind of markup system with styles like css and at that point you might as well use WebView. For some programs a more limited UI toolkit is enough, but it won't be the case for every app.
>>
>>108961551
You are a zoomer guaranteed or at least uneducated
If your "UI" needs complex styling you're missing the point of UI/UX
>>108960725
First party app using WebView is a new low, I can understand if it's aspiring startup if they target multiple platforms but holy shit itoddlers your app doesn't even exist in Windows/Linux. There is no reason to use JS, if your native UI engine is shit fix it
>>
>>108961595
I am a software engineer with 20y of experience, but of course you know better.

I'm not saying apple is right about WebView and that UX can't exist without complex styling. But it's equally true that it CAN in fact exist WITH complex styling and it might be desirable in some cases. Nothing is fundamentally wrong with WebView, but also something is very wrong with electron and React, which I hate more than anything in webdev.

>I need a scripting language and 9001 floor tower of webshit babel to tessellate curves, draw textured quads, gradients, and shadows
>>
>>108961646
Tell me how you can do WebView without shipping and running a fully fledged browser in your window. WebView is fundamentally flawed and only exist as a stopgap because (1) cross platform UI toolkit is shit (2) ram is cheap (then), also arguably (3) there's tons of web-native cheap brown "engineers" that's biologically incapable of going down one level
There is ZERO reason for a "complex, highly styled" UI in a serious application, what is your definition of complex anyway? There's nothing Discord/VSCode do that can't be done with native toolkit. More effort? True and that's the fundamental problem

the only reason why they do that and not just encourage people to run the windows version in wine is because they can't be seen publicly endorsing or acknowledging wine as legitimate software

react is using spa websites as apps either online or not, so it's the same thing.
these people are scared of vanilla javascript, they would never use that lol
