Yea I wasn’t a fan of it initially coming from C++ and C# but it is growing on me. There’s a lot of neat concepts. I just wish it’d allow me to put curly braces on the next line.

the fact that I can put the Deck into sleep mode at a moment’s notice, the fact that I can take it on a plane or to another city and still play things from my library

This is the largest thing for me. It’s insanely convenient just like the switch when taking the train or the bus, except that I have a full library of my Steam games and it runs way better.

The JVM isn’t free. It was a simple data collection device that interfaces with a sensor which ideally doesn’t need maintenance as long as possible. Something light written in C is more than enough.

Battery life is a reason. I’ve had clients come to me complaining their solution from another vendor didn’t last very long. Turns out it was running Java on an embedded device.

I found SourceTree to be especially bad at this. For the inexperienced, I think Fork is a lot better. It also helps that you can inspect the commands that were executed by it.

Haven’t dabbled with them yet but I’ve heard of Avalonia and Compose.

I’m not too familiar with slinr or fybe but DearImGui seems like an odd one out here.

And it’s so good that Kotlin adopted them too in their journey to fix Java.

Funny you list both C# and Typescript because the lead architect of C# also worked on Typescript.
