Question
roosevelt
Hello everyone,
I wanted to get your thoughts on HCJ (HTML, CSS and Javascript) and why it is not yet implemented as the GUI engine by some of the industry leaders out there (e.g. Java, .NET, etc?).
From my experience I had an awesome time developing user interfaces using HCJ and the things you can design or do with HCJ are truly remarkable. Compare that to Java Swing, JavaFX, C# WPF, your experience will be polar opposite if not painful.
I am curious whether there is some kind of technical limitation that is forcing us to rely on these old GUI libraries or it?s just due to business reasons that these folks (Oracle, Microsoft, etc?) are not yet making it possible to code/design the front-end of the desktops with pure HCJ?
I guess the main questions is? why are we not using HCJ for our GUIs rather than learning something new like FXML, WPF, JavaFX, etc?? All the web applications and some of the hybrids of a desktop apps are running a browser engine which uses HCJ, so why not create a native HCJ rendering engine on a matured platform like Java, .NET, Cocoa? Thus, eliminating the need to embed a third-party web browser engine!
Adobe AIR, NodeWebkit was almost there but the libraries provided by .NET/Cocoa/Java/PHP/Python is a huge advantage to most developers. And having a native support for something is always desirable!
The Mobile world is primarily HTML/CSS anyways, so I don?t know why the desktop apps cannot use pure HCJ natively :)
