as much as I hate perl I do have to give it credit for actually making all that object and array referencing stuff nicely explicit and not concealing the mechanics

an array can't contain other arrays, only references (or numbers or strings)

but a reference can point to another array (or any variable)

so when you copy the array, you do indeed get a copy of everything in it, including the reference, and obviously the copy of the reference refers to the same array that the original reference did

i had a group project last year with 6 other guys. one of them wasnt a CS student, but was a psychology student from the year above us looking for some easy credits (lol)

he keeps pushing for us to use latex to write a sh itty report. then he sits back and we have to end up doing it while he claims he doesnt know how to program or use latex anywa

browsers are for ui

if you're afraid of being called a full stack dev then use the new javafx poo poo, whatever they call it. or just use swing, it doesn't look that bad.

or qt I guess but I haven't used qt.

you should really use the browser though

do tell

I mean, it's not like there doesn't exist a staggeringly vast array of useful components that will let you create an interface that runs on every OS and device you could possibly care about with a markup and styling language that's trivial to use

not to mention you're able to abstract computation away for many tasks and dramatically increase the amount of individual devices you can run your software on since pretty much everything can run a browser

the modern web browser is possibly the greatest runtime and presentation layer we've ever seen and some people just refuse to believe

I'm the complete ignorance of any desktop software

the only thing browsers do better is they're mostly platform-agnostic, mostly.

webapps have their place, but it isnt for so many many things. some things just need to be a loving program. i had a fallen through contract recently where at the last minute they demanded their data entry application be a webapp because it would be to much hassle to update on the factory floor, bullshit. they wanted snappy and safe and they want run it through a loving browser. extra layer of poo poo complexity and stylesheets and html and poo poo componants. i told them they were wrong and to get back to me when the arsehole who decided this was nescessary failed

tbh, there's very few native apps made well enough to surpass what a webthing could do, especially these days.
Even fewer that connect to a server.

What you get with native app
- Deep integration with os, notifications, etc
- better local storage access
- Faster

What you lose
- peace of mind that your state is synchronized with server

Sadly, apple apps that are the worst offenders. Calendar, mail, contacts, radar, itunes.
