> for mhtml to be embedded with light weight renderer so it does'nt have to rely on other browser That's Sciter ( https://sciter.com ) and Sciter.Quark ( https://quark.sciter.com )…

It is better to be D language then - natively compiled and has superb meta programming features. Especially if to consider that I've added native D support to Sciter [1]. [1] https…

I think that my Sciter is better option when you need HTML/CSS/JS native application running on Windows (XP and beyond), MacOS and Linuxes. Sciter SDK [1] contains scapp[.exe] - st…

Yes, that. And also: Rust was designed to build core mechanisms of UI, like internals of a browser. But as a language-behind-ui it is quite suboptimal so I think the most successfu…

I've spent 2 weeks (2-4h per day) to make D language[1] version of Sciter SDK [2] Choice of AI "tooling" was by accident - typed something like "how to define copy constructor in D…

What would be the name of the society where, say, 30,000 people + technology produce enough food and goods to satisfy the needs of the rest of Earth population? So those people wil…

Yep. Evolutionary way to get to communism where "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" [1] [1] " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_…

What if: 1. JS supports JSX literals so let elDef = Text ; will be compiled into let elDef = ["div", {id:"some"}, ["Text"]]; 2. We extend DOM API to accept such constructs: element…

> Is there a good reason browsers could and or should not support ts out of the box? Yes, there is a reason. Most critical requirement for the "language-behind-web-UI" is to be eff…

> lack of browser engine implemented basic UI elements as default HTML. I'd argue that browsers already have full set basic UI elements. But the thing is that "basic set" is differ…

USSR at big extent was there too. Like OGAS[1] - a unified economic management system. The idea was simple yet technocratically rational: if the system has enough sensors and effec…

Yeah, that's definitely needed. That's why I've added Graphics.Text ( https://docs.sciter.com/docs/Graphics/Text ) in Sciter. Graphics.Text is basically a detached element that can…

It is not. Not to that extent at least. I am developing Sciter[1] engine that works on all desktops: Windows, MacOS, Linux (3 distinct backends: pure X11, pure Wayland and GTK4). A…

> cross platform GUIs are ugly by default, ... was said reading it in a browser on who knows what OS/DWM. I mean that 90% (if not more) of all UI interactions happen now in a brows…

WYSIWYG is #1 reason I believe. Markdown is fundamentally WYSIWYG - you edit something and you get it rendered 1 to 1. Either in plain text (a.k.a. "source") or when it converted t…

Lua syntax is pretty good for DSL (domain specific language) cases / configuration definitions. For example Premake[1] uses Lua as it is - without custom syntax parser but with set…

"better" in what sense? If in hypothetical semantic meaning then another old zombie is better in that sense, isn't it?

Not sure I understand why do you need exchange rates with it. uses the same convention as "Intl.NumberFormat/style=currency": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScrip…

Also, if to allow form.value to accept JSON-ish objects it will be possible to set form values in single shot: form.value = { transAmount: 12345n, transDate: new Date() }; where fo…

Problem with is that it is half-baked making its usage almost useless. It would be significantly more practical for the output to have "type" attribute in the same way as in the in…

I used to have NEC MobilePro 900 like here: https://live.staticflickr.com/213/481422006_92cdaeb6ee_b.jpg I miss that form factor really. And BTW, I regret that WindowsCE is not the…

Well, Highlight API ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Highlight ) should just work inside too. At least it works in my Sciter like this: textarea::mark(myHighlight…
