Umm this is just being retro. Like using a film camera.

There used to be a UI library on the Amiga called MUI.

It used a bunch of C macros to let you define the window and all the controls. Was honestly pretty good considering it was like 30 years ago.

Unrelated but there is microui, a 1100 loc library in ansi C for a basic UI.

There is another called ImGui which is also cool! Written in C++.

React is a Javascript based web development programming language developed by Facebook to make pages run faster and better. I learned it as part of a MERN stack full web development course.

Javascript based web development ~~programming language~~ UI library

On the other hand React Native is a JavaScript based development language developed by Facebook to make applications run slower and worse.

Used for rendering UIs on a Document Object Model. JS was a mistake.

More specifically, an Indian divider for large numbers, kind of like how 万 (read 'man') works in Japanese. While Japanese (and I think Chinese) divide numbers greater than 1,000 in increments of 1万, or 10,000, up until you hit 100,000,000, in India, large numbers get split into lakh, representing groups of 100,000.

It's so neat how different cultures adapted to numbers. Like French have something like 4 times 20 (and?) 2 to mean 82. In Hungarian if you say billió, that is one trillion rather one billion. We riff on the ending of million to express billion: milliárd.

[–] sag@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, Is it my turn to tell the Indian Numbering System?

Here how we divide

100 > Sau Hundred 1000 > Hajar Thousand 1,00,000 > 1 Lakh Hundred Thousand 1,00,00,000 > *1 crore * Ten Million 10⁹ > 1 Arab 100 Crores or 1 Billion 10¹¹ > *1 Kharab * Hundred Billion 10¹³ > 1 Nil Hundred Trillion 10¹⁵ > 1 Padma Quadrillion 10¹⁷ > 1 Sankh Hundred Quadrillion

I'm an elitist asshole and I hate that people say "react dev" when really it's "web dev that uses react"

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

react devs are not web devs. they're special

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is this distinction really all that useful?

I suppose you could write a react app that doesn’t use “the web”? But you still might just say they are a react developer.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think the web part refers to web technologies.

There are also react devs creating the windows 11 start menu.
