This is simply not true and usually results from teams of bad developers or developers with bad practices... just check stuff like React.js, it's much larger than that, code quality it's good, tests, etc... Angular, Bootstrap and other frameworks are good examples. Many apps are also using that, from Spotify and Slack (which ships a whole Chromium to run their webapp) to Atom (https://atom.io/)... -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri -------------------------------------- Mobile: +55 (16) 99354-9890 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
