What are some things X11 can do that Wayland still can't? in c/linux@programming.dev

Just looking at these comments, and the fact that wayland still isn't as good as x11 after all these years (10, 15?) And all this budget shows that wayland is architectually wrong and will never be actually good.

Any software engineer will understand this. If your project is still in basically beta after more than a decade and that much budget, and it's only selling point is that "but it's slightly better than the decades old legacy system", that project has been architectually wrong, and also definitely has awful management, and you call it failed.

    jQuery is still on 53.7% of the web, and Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites in c/webdev@programming.dev

    It's actually good for some cases. Most things can be done with plain JS now. Unlike people like to admit, JS has become an amazing scripting language for browsers. But jquery can still be useful for some cases. Especially with the new shift-back to MPAs, it can be very useful alongside something like HTMX

    Getting kids (6-10) started witg programming and game dev (programming.dev)
     

    Hi. I want to get my little cousins into computers, and since they're kids, making games are really fun for them. I made a game with them with Love2D and they had a blast (I put their faces on the characters) but I think Love2d is a bit too hard for them.

    My main motive for them is to make something and be creative. Programming is just a tool for that.
    So something simpler with less code and mental load that let's them create stuff more simply is good.

    What do you guys suggest?
