Je ne sais quois

Because it’s a native language

ugh. js is the worst. the net was nice when flash was used for animation and js wasn't a thing yet. good times.

Everyone uses desktop/laptops, well a lot of people do. It’s hard to get anything done efficiently on mobile. At least for old man thumbs. I don’t know anyone without a laptop. I think web apps run fine on phones.

Besides, you made VCPs look so good. Thanks for developing its platform.

JavaScript is not slow for everything. It's one of the best rendering engines there is.

Because JavaScript went from UI to server side with node.js

It’s still being used a lot. For legacy stuff and for quick and simple and temporary solutions that stay permanent later.

I have 2 desktops, 2 laptops, 2 phones and 2 nodes.

That's an excellent and provocative question. The premise that no one uses desktop computers and that web applications are universally slow on mobile devices is a common, but not entirely accurate, perception. The popularity of JavaScript (JS), in a world dominated by mobile and web applications...

Nobody knows…

Depends on the browser and operating system?

Still the best bet for cross platform, which many businesses need to maximize target audience. And easy to hire devs.

Illuminati imo.

In my view a well-built webapp is anything but slow and horrible ... If you build it correctly, it can be both very fast to load and very fast to navigate....

Because there is no good alternative yet.
