@robots Electron using Edge when?
@grainloom @robots Nah, they probably won’t or else they would have to port Edge (they did port IE in the past, even to Unix, huge failure)
@lanodan @grainloom @robots They'll make #electron Windows only.
@lanodan @turion @robots @grainloom IIRC they did a version of node that used Chakra instead of V8 when on Windows. Wouldn’t put it past them to make Electron play best on Windows
@cbowdon @grainloom @robots @turion Yes for playing best on Windows but not destroying it for other people, and maintaining two versions is quite hard so I guess they’d rather patch and upstream V8.
@lanodan @grainloom @robots @turion Yeah that makes sense.
The point of Electron is like Adobe Air/Flash or Java.
Code once, run away.
