@nasser @akkartik @maya I also agree, but with the caveat that I actually don’t love using browser based software that isn’t network related, but I do love it as a dev environment, even just for prototyping. For me it’s the fastest way to think through an idea with a canvas. Many other languages/environments make it really hard to visualize things dynamically, or whip up a quick UI.
I will say that I don’t really enjoy JavaScript as a language. But that’s easy enough to work around these days.
@emenel @nasser @maya My heart wants to propose the Lua LÖVE framework (https://love2d.org) in combination with something like LoveFrames (https://github.com/eledot/LoveFrames/wiki/Getting-Started)
But.. I haven't actually tried it yet :/
It's a little work. You have to download LÖVE (a nice cross-platform 5MB binary), then create a little app with LoveFrames set up inside it. Whereas the browser is obviously right there and ready to go.
But it's a lot smaller, more stable, more secure.
I really should try it out.
