Re: [Lazarus] alternative to web programming?
The idea is interesting, but the implementation not so. All demos are unusably slow and unless this spawns a VM for each instance, i wouldn't trust any sort of "FS virtualization" they have to not be broken - Win32 desktop APIs were not designed for applications to be isolated from each other. This could make it only usable for intranets, but even then the performance is so abysmal as to severely impact any sort of productivity. And honestly, would you want to be the poor clerk who'd have this sort of crappy responsiveness imposed on them 8h/day? There might be some very few uses for this, but i'm certain that there are also better solutions for those few uses too (and some would be solved with something like noVNC).

Not really. It's basically a remote desktop session in a browser. Some kind of terminal server solution. How they can claim this is super scalable is beyond me. I tried once something similar (https://www.awingu.com/), but had to give up. The application was too complex and the setup was too demanding. And you're still running a desktop app, so no responsiveness, no CSS tricks. With today's variety in devices, it's a dead end IMO.

Re: [Lazarus] alternative to web programming?
IMO the best things about creating and using html + css for web applications is the power of the design. That is, you can easily style the look of a web application to be practically anything, including dead simple animations and transforms. So then using a framework where you have to design the interface by using a non html + css tool, you end up with difficult to stylize user interfaces. That type of toolchain seems very counter productive to me. I've even say it wastes a lot of time for developers and graphic designers since adding elements and changing styles can be tweaked by anyone on your team purely through built in browser developer tools (F12 on Windows and Linux with most all browsers). If you're going to be dropping in html or css changes, your workflow is going to be more difficult if you're fighting fight with some non html + css layout tools. -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Maybe it's something similar to gtk3 Broadway?
