What you’ve mentioned about HTML/CSS is true for native apps too: there is a standardized API for drawing the UI (GTK+, Cocoa, whatever Windows has) and standardized data formats that back them. The issue is that apps are not necessarily required to use these (ironically it’s Electron et al. that break these) and they don’t use code that is readily inspectable, unlike pure JavaScript. On the other hand, though, this has been slowly been becoming true of the modern web: websites are ditching the DOM for React/Vue/Angular “SPAs” that use horrible selector names and minimized and nigh-impossible to comprehend JavaScript so they can reimplement things that the platform provides for free. So it’s not great either way… |
