Can't wait for my son to try this. He has general coordination issues due to a brainstem injury but the eyes are probably the part of the body he can better control. I'm not a fan of Apple's software and didn't have a great experience with the Vision Pro but I am excited to try it out.

Welcome to Web 3.0 4 years ago

I get that "Web 3.0" is catchy as "Web 2.0" was back in the day but I wish people would stop trying to version "the web". It doesn't make any sense.

Is Rust web yet? 6 years ago

I agree. It will take some time until we have a Rust framework that is as robust and feature-rich as Django or Rails.

For me the great advantage of web apps is that you build a single code base for that can run on any platform (browser). That make it so much easier to maintain so you can focus more on features. If you build a native app for iOS you'll have to build another for Android and so it could be harder to maintain.

It depends a lot on what you are building. I'd recommend Python in general as it has more support but don't limit yourself to it as there might be some parts of your project were Go or Haskell can be more powerful.
