> You'd better not dare write your desktop application in HTML. What has this world come to???<p>Ok thats clear. But then ten sentences later:<p>> Of course, you aren't going to write your UI in C, only an idiot would do that. Instead, you want to write it in some kind of markup language.<p>Now, let me think of some markup language that is universally known and has at least <i>some</i> pretence to be about laying out information on a screen... Thats right, html.<p>The thing with UI frameworks in the 21st century of flying cars, AGI and rapidly approaching Singularity, is that its a stagnating mess.<p>There should be a nice, standardized, cross-platform, easy to get started and progressively expandable way to build high quality visual apps. For some elusive reason, we cant have good things.
