Personally, I find ThinkPads and any of the Dell laptops without discrete graphics cards, reliable for Linux.

That's awesome, honestly. Can't wait.

Let me give a real world example from my own experience.

I have built a Win32 desktop app with its core logic in Go; and then re-built from scratch using .NET (v7). The core logic involved a fairly complicated keyboard input processing based on bunch of config files.

- Final binary of .NET ~ 14 MB

- Final binary of Go ~ 2 MB

Yea, I missed trimming. But still NativeAOT results in 10x the size of the Go binary in Windows (win-x64)

You're right. But even with trimming I get around 10x the size of the Go binary

C# is a lovely language to work with.

The only issue I have is with the .NET ... that is, building self-contained binaries to distribute.

For comparison:

* Hello World win-x64 binary self-contained in .NET 7 is around 70 MB

* The same for Go results in 1.2 MB

Edit: Missed 'trimming' in .NET, which would result in a binary of size around 11 MB in win-x64

I feel like there is an entire OS starting up behind Teams, when I start/open it up

Xournal++ is nice too

Tried it in Windows 10 and its really performant.

But doesn't show Unicode characters (that aren't English characters) automatically.

I will argue .NET's Windows Forms is an easier and so much better successor to VB in all aspects. It has even survived through the .NET Core and .NET era.

How would you do DI abstractions using just functions? (Honest question)

I am so much used to the idea of swapping out functionality (set of functions and a state). For example, just recently I had to swap out an Excel spreadsheet reader/writer library in Go for performance reasons, and would have bled a lot (due to refactoring) had it not been encapsulated as an interface.

There is a mistake in the README of the github repo:

In the 1st part of the "Features" section, the "bfs" and "find" columns' contents are swapped. I was a bit confused while reading it and it took me a while to notice that it was a mistake.

How about FSearch in Linux? [http://cboxdoerfer.github.io/fsearch/]

There is nothing holding anyone back from using (expression ? val1 : val2) in svelte though. So, we're not missing anything that JSX/react has got. The {#if} thingy is just a bonus which is welcome in my opinion.

Not "default(s)", but gin and fiber come to mind regarding popularity.

The first think I always do after a fresh Ubuntu installation is removing snap entirely. Works fine in 20.04.

Wrong repo? Here is the right one:

Wow! didn't know that. Very helpful

Using Windows 10 with the 6th Gen 6700 HQ, 16 GB ram and an SSD. There are some annoying lags here and there.

Like the login screen, for example. Lock the PC (Windows Key + L) followed by CTRL key to activate the password prompt, and immediately put in my password ... then the 1st one or two characters from my password won't usually make it into the password input.

I've been coding for more than a decade; desktop apps to full-stack web apps; And have recently been involved with the ever-changing front-end arena. Love Svelte.

Let's not also forget that the .NET self-contained executables are huge in size compared to Go's. An ASP.NET app could be more than 100 MB

Comprehensive set of bootstrap-like components (free and open-source)

https://m.livesoccertv.com/ took more than 4 MB. And if you navigate to Sunday's results it took 18.2 MB, which I think is too heavy. I wish there was something light weight like HN.

It also doesn't include type checking for typescript. It just transpiles sources to javascript

Form automation (generator) javascript library (with vanilla JS/react/svelte support out of the box)

WPF is pretty good, actually. It is kind of 'done' at this point and thus the maintenance mode.

The future could be MAUI though; and it is around the corner

It really is that good. Out of the bunch of apps on my iPhone Telegram is the one that is fast, effectively using cellular data, feature packed. The Unigram client on Windows 10 is also neat.

Due to compilation, bundle size gets a lot smaller which will boost start-up/load time.

OneNote is feature rich (specially the availability in iOS) ... but what eventually made me drop it was the unavailability of a reliable desktop app in Linux

It is too small (unusable) in my 4K screen - using 225% scaling in Windows 10
