Some Apple first party software on MacOS was written with Javascript and React

[senttoschool]

For those who complain about Electron apps on macOS, we now know that Apple themselves use Javascript/React/Webview inside macOS menus and Apple Music. For example, Apple uses React (made by Facebook and most popular web framework), on parts of Apple Music.

This shows that even Apple themselves don't use native for everything.

As a business-oriented software developer, I never disliked Electron Apps or web-based apps. I find that they have their place and it makes a ton of sense for businesses and users.

Tauri looks like a good alternative to Electron, and it seems that Tauri-based applications consume less resources than Electron-based ones. So, let's hope that Tauri becomes popular and developers start choosing Tauri over Electron.

Apple Music was destined to become a "real" (yeah, I know) app, although it seems to be delayed.

Ugh, Javascript embedded in OS views. Gross.

Look over at Windows 11, where the Widgets panel itself is made in HTML/JavaScript. This trend is annoying.
