Non-web apps are basically an inconvenience to me at this point. I’m looking at the native app for steam right now; can’t even launch a game on my computer from my phone. So I built a web app to do that with lutris (among other features). Nobody wants a desktop app for their bank and I don’t want to learn apples shit just to make something on their platform when they purposefully make everything worse for browsers. Can’t even properly full screen for example. Web applications are a common interface for anything that doesn’t need the capabilities of a native app, like a game. And since it’s the only real target platform, it’s getting better every year. I’m not the least bit regretful about it. If there were any need st all for what I do to have a desktop app, I would do it, but there isn’t.

Is there any front-end/client-side language you would recommend then?

Just don't write javascript web apps. People seem to have this fear of learning how to program, so they cling to shitty web crap. It is faster and easier to write real software in a real language than it is to cludge together a broken sorta works sometimes web interface in javascript.
