The hypocrisy!

Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!

There’s actually a Python-based framework that can make mobile apps called Kivy, but as you might expect it would not be terribly performant.

Haha this happened to me almost verbatim except it was an LG phone.

Big “we already got their money, fuck 'em” energy. Made me decide to aggressively avoid all LG products going forward.

Best part was there was a bug in the version of their Android I was stuck with that would cause the phone to randomly shut off if charging overnight. I think I eventually installed a custom ROM which fixed it.

That’s actually pretty neat!

I said a few, friend 😛 I agree it’s not a big deal, but for developers that are totally entrenched in that ecosystem it might be alarming. Hence OP’s post.

That is disturbing. From my perspective, anyway. There are already so many great (and more appropriate) stacks for web backends, why Frankenstein a Frankenstein into it?

Actually, if you really care about quality and types on the front end rust+wasm is not a bad idea 🤔

Now that I’ve typed that and read it back, were people using TypeScript for anything other than front-end web dev?

Expect to see more posts like this. With a few projects announcing they’re dropping support for TypeScript we’re going to have developers worrying that this tech that they’ve sunk so much time into is suddenly becoming obsolete, so they’re going to evangelise hard in favour of it as a defence strategy. Same thing happened when Perl went out of flavour.
