you can also write in whatever language and expose it via com and then do the wiring in vba.

it's good to have tools that let people accomplish things they couldn't otherwise without tons of specialized knowledge, on the other hand, the method by which they accomplish these things is often absolutely terrible

I managed to crash it by putting a nul byte in a regex. two, when I say javascript stored in tables, I mean one line of code per row hmm, this probably belongs in the coding horrors thread ...

the "new New NEW this will be new and thus 100% good!" brigade is out in force about this. also, the number of people who have no idea how apps are made ("but if they can put different iPhone and iPad interfaces in the same app, why not also macOS?" "why did they ever make them separate?") yet Have Opinions about this is staggering yet unsurprising. i hope you all like your gutted iOSX apps, which can only made to work together in ways that apple and the app developers thought of ahead of time via some restrictive, sandboxed documents model, just like on iOS. and they'll probably add a bunch more pointless complexity to iOS while they're at it.

microsoft have also become amazing at emulation at this point, it was just a terrible implementation, and windows rt could not have had a more repulsive ui and ux if they tried windows apps still feel like you're running a vm or something; if they could just have them act and feel like regular programs, it'd be an awesome feature

i'd imagine ios/osx crossover apps would be like UWP where in some cases a shared UI design that scales based on app size/ratio is appropriate but in other cases you get a totally different UI with the same codebase.

LOL i just remembered the game Space Age, which was originally designed for iOS and then ported to the Mac. the porting was so sloppily done that to scroll around the game world you click and drag instead of moving the mouse to the edge of the screen or using the keyboard like every other game. they seem to have just copy/pasted the touch input code for the mouse input code and called it a day. can't wait to have to "swipe" with the mouse in my desktop apps.
