Flet is a framework that allows developers to create real-time web, mobile, and desktop applications using Python without the need for frontend experience. It simplifies the development process by enabling users to build interactive apps quickly, ranging from internal tools to high-fidelity prototypes. Flet's architecture eliminates the need for complex setups involving JavaScript frontend, REST API backend, and databases, offering a monolith stateful app in Python for multi-user, real-time Single-Page Applications. The framework comes with a built-in web server, assets hosting, and desktop clients, requiring no additional SDKs or dependencies. Flet leverages Flutter for its UI, ensuring a professional look across different platforms. It supports multiple programming languages, with Python currently available and plans to include Go, C#, and others in the future. Developers can deploy Flet applications as web apps, standalone desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on mobile devices, including iOS and Android.

F (2006)
F is a functional concatenative language with K3 list operations and Joy's dip combinator. It enforces one-time assignment, supports floating-point and symbolic datatypes, and emphasizes function-valence and -charge theories. The language is purely functional, prohibiting side-effects and reassignment, with various primitives for arithmetic, logic, and list operations. F also provides interactive commands for debugging and manipulation, focusing on simplicity, efficiency, and functional programming paradigms.

The analysis critiques Copilots, chatbots, and React for web development, citing slow sites, complex code, and high costs. It advocates for a shift to browser APIs, CSS, and HTML for better performance and lower expenses. Transition challenges include finding developers skilled in vanilla JavaScript. Organizations are urged to prioritize simplicity, efficiency, and core web technology training.

I wonder if we really did a good thing by building this "app culture" where everything needs a little "app" as a way of extracting a little more money from people. Although "app" means application, the word "app" is apt because it signifies the commercialization of applications into advertisements-as-a-program, in the same way that YouTube transformed videos into advertisements-as-a-video.
What a mess.
