usually produced using fossil fuels, using inefficient production methods that waste electricity
Well, it's either one or the another. While the energy loss is relatively high when using electricity, it's not a problem when you have an oversupply of renewable energy, actually it's even beneficial as it provides a storage for otherwise lost energy.
But regardless of the production, it generates no pollution when consumed by a vehicle. You know, like clean air in cities.
And of course, hydrogen won't solve tire pollution nor associated noise (albeit I guess it should be more silent that fossil fuel one) but it's still environmental friendly compared to what we have now.
Right, that's why Ukraine is proud of attacking foreign energy infrastructure and proudly announced that is was them? Meanwhile gas is still flowing from Russia thought ... Ukraine.
Edit: what - was
Don't forget Cuban crisis where US was prepared to wage nuclear war of Russian nuclear missiles placed in Cuba. Actually we were 5 minutes to end of the world.
Yep, I have been using Forms for a little while (I was invited to first beta, mind you), gave up. Not worth it in longer term, probably not even in short term. I guess MAUI is more or less similar. Perhaps the working compromise is Xamarin native, where you can share code between the two platforms and write native UI and interact with native libraries. It works as long as libraries have bindings (a lot of them have, if they don't you can still create them yourself, but that's not trivial), but you still have friction and additional problems, such as handling different application lifetimes. Also tried flutter, which suffers from similar problems, though bindings are done in different way, perhaps more natural.
TL;DR; A lot has changed since I've tried crossplatform, Jetpack Compose/Kotlin and Swift/Swift UI happened. And they both have superior design time features and are great in many aspects. I'd go with native today.
Yeah, let's burn some more rain forest and see whether it helps.
