    I mean, I’m pretty sure this is extremely widespread in China, so I’d say it’s more cultural than anything else. In fact, since there are so many Chinese, that probably means more people call it A.P.P. than app. But I honestly have no clue, and it doesn’t matter to me either way. Words change. It’s nothing to get bent out of shape about.


  • I feel the pain in your comment.

    I too have been burned by “cross-platform” tooling. What I’ve learned is the more complex your project is, the less likely it is to have simple cross compliation.

    But with that huge caveat, I’ll say I’ve had a better time doing cross comp on dotnet than I have rust. Either of them are infinitely better than learning cmake though. That’s definitely just my amateur take though. I’m sure smarter people will tell you I’m wrong.
