Why should I waste time on developing desktop applications when i can target a much bigger amount of people by writing a browser application?

It's 2016, even Autocad runs in the browser

"browser applications" are a javascript bloat.

>bloat

Then how come every web video service runs like shit in any browser compared to running it all through livestreamer+mpv ? Mind you all adaptive video web strategies involve javascript (bloat).

Works for me, have you tried buying a new computer?

Dude, even my phone handles video streaming perfectly fine. What kind of Linux freetard toaster machine are you running?

Excellent observation! You get cracking on Web Development and maybe you can fix office 365! Given that everything works so well as a Web App and nobody wants to utilize their own hardware to improve their own user experiance anymore. I'd say your on the right track don't let Sup Forums crush your developers dreams! You go gurl!

Can we write web apps in Java or C or something? Is it necessary to learn web languages?

But Javascript runs on your own machine retard ;^)

Have you ever checked browser's cpu usage? Javascript is bloat and there's no excuse to use it.
