Dioxus is the only web-platform technology toolkit that I see having the ability to be cross-platform and use Javascript as little as possible - glad to see their native WGPU rendering stack progress (check out the videos by Nico Burns on Blitz, Taffy etc)

Be that as it may, the reason I got into software development as a kid was because I wanted to understand how computers worked and tinker with them. I did not get into it because of increased efficiency, or for telling others how to do stuff that I could learn how to do myself. If that makes me unmarketable, then I guess I will move to something that is not so prone to automation. Because I don't want to be a glorified manager (of bots or of people). :)
Thank you for writing this - it is more detailed that I could come up with!
I would like to add that I feel like functional approaches are more the "future" of programming than trying to iterate over imperative ones to make them as "nice" to use. So I don't really see the big deal of trying to add-on features to existing languages when you can adopt new ones (or experiment with existing ones e.g. https://github.com/getkyo/kyo for a new take on effects in Scala).
It's a balance but IMO there should be no realistic concept of "winning the market". If it gets to that point then sure the company is probably making a lot of money but they also have the power to squeeze as much as they can. The irony of posting this on a forum originating from VC culture does not escape me.
This resonates very strongly with me - I am happy there are other people writing about this. It may not change the course of society but we need to fight for things worth fighting for and not give in to the system.
There's a quantity argument to be made here - before, it used to be hard to generate large amounts of plausible but incorrect text. Now it easy. Similar to surveillance before/after smartphones + the internet - you had to have a person following you vs just soaking up all the data on the backbone.
reading the comments there: got to love how anytime Steam comes up in a negative light that it turns into a "debate" on if a platform that controls 90% of its respective market is a monopoly.
