Because pyqt is the only one that has any community behind it and with it documentation. Just because there are other bindings doesn't mean they are usable, most qt bindings and there are millions of them for all kinds of languages(even node), are incomplete.

You know more about how a computer works. You know that managing memory is a thing, unlike when you spend your entire life writting JavaScript and you think your objects are stored into some magic portal.

No. Cause of bad security is lack of testing and review of security. If business really cares about security, they will hire programmers and testers who understand security.

Memory allocations in C++ are not as hard as people make it out to be. It's fairly simple actually. The only thing you have to do is to just be conscious of allocations, that's it.

AS3 was nice, I miss it, as well, but not **that** much, because TypeScript is almost the same thing (in practice, if not in technology).

Those are different use cases. VS Code is a "work" program - you open it and interact with it constantly to do things. It is in the foreground and is the sort of thing you take in to account when thinking about RAM and CPU.

My conclusion is that mac is the problem, not electron. Google Chrome uses 0% CPU when it's idle on my windows 10 PC. Visual Studio Code uses 0% CPU when it's idle on windows 10 and on Windows Server 2012, while the cursor is blinking. This also gave high CPU usage on mac. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comment...

I think this solves the worst problems? And is more compact & descriptive than checking for emptiness: `rm -rf -- "${STEAMHOME:?}"/*` Doesn't handle the dotfiles problem nor the dir being empty, but those seem less bad than wiping the entire disk :D

It's Wordpress. When I started the blog (2009) I didn't know much about web technology.

It's true that you can get by very well these days using JIT langs. But, there is still a nice amount of control that C++ offers even for user-facing applications that make it worth at least considering for a project. I like having the control, so I spend most of my spare time working in C++.
