A bit off-topic, but what's the best method to build cross-platform mobile & web apps nowadays ? I'm talking either business logic + UI , or just business logic ? like gomobile, rust, typescript, etc ? At some point i thought about using typescript for all business logic, as it seemed the most portable tech, but i realized there's no good way to have decent performance running javascript on iOS.

The best option is probably Flutter right now: https://flutter.dev/ If you don't mind writing the UI native, sharing only business logic code, Kotlin is an option: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform.html#kotlin-multip... Kotlin also can do the UI if you use Compose: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/ ... however, iOS support is still in alpha, and Web is "experimental". If you're not willing t…

If you use oidc, you can't use Flutter with web or desktop as build targets. It requires a feature that isn't supported by Flutter on those platforms.

For the last 4 years the answer is Flutter.

First comment on that Reddit thread:

Hey folks! Kevin, product manager on Flutter and Dart here.

The layoffs were decided AT LEAST a couple of layers above our team and affected a LOT of teams. (I think I can say that). Lots of good folks got bad news and lots of great projects lost people. Flutter and Dart were not affected any more or less that others. It was a tough day...tough week.

It was crazy to be seeing demos and new things working and discussions about new customers the same day we lost colleagues and friends.

We're sad, but still cranking hard on I/O and beyond.

We know ya'll care SO MUCH about the project and the team and the awesome ecosystem we've built together.

You're nervous. I get it. We get it.

You're betting on Flutter and Dart.

So am I. So is Google.

Businesses do seem to like AvaloniaUI and Uno. https://avaloniaui.net/ https://platform.uno/

Thanks, which of the two would people recommend for a C# beginner? And is oidc well supported on all target platforms?

We use Tauri, but I think that it’s important to know that we solely use it for internal tools. I have no idea if it’s a good tool for consumer facing products. It works well enough for what we use it for, which is mostly for our solar park technicians where using cross platform Typescript on terrible internet became too much work for our small team.

Agreed. Tauri for desktop, capacitor for mobile. Bring your own front-end library either way.

That could be true, but I've done a few optimizations of allocations in Go code, and I don't recall pointers to stack values ever being optimized (unless the entire branch is removed, of course). If anyone could provide an example of the code that does pointer operations yet doesn't cause allocations, I'd appreciate it!

Sure, here you go: https://godbolt.org/#g:!((g:!((g:!((h:codeEditor,i:(filename...

Ah, so extremely localized uses of pointers, got it, thanks.
