You know, I've always loved C and doing my own memory management. I love learning optimization techniques and applying them.
But you know what? Everybody around me keeps saying I'm being silly. They keep telling me I won't find any jobs like that. They say I should just swallow my juvenile preferences and go with what's popular, chasing trends for the entire rest of my career.
I don't think you can blame people for trending away from quality software. Its clearly against the grain.
That's awesome, and honestly who knows what you'll come up with if you're given time to follow your passion there. Decades ago SCM was done through CVS and SVN and other pieces of garbage until Linus came out with Git which a main reason that it is so good IMO is its speed. Google Chrome arrived on the scene in a lot of the same way (of course now it's as bloated a cow as any other browser, but at the time it was faster than anything available).
No definitely not. Electron is basically a creation of idiot middle management who insist that the web app and the app app be the same exact thing and be developed by the same group of understaffed, underpaid, underappreciated developers. So they worked out a framework to make it so they could change something in one place and have it reflected everywhere.
But it's still as potato as it gets.
