I have worked both with and on various purportedly "cross-platform" systems, and it is pretty much a complete lie to claim that there is such a thing - at least when it comes to good interactive apps. It isn't so much that it is trying to fit a round pet into a square hole, more that it is trying to fix an n-dimensional pristine design into a 40 foot tall block of swiss cheese excrement. From start to finish it is a freaking joke. A complete, obvious, bare-faced, indefensible, pathetic, blatant, embarrassing, silly, resounding fart of a joke. Package managers, programming languages, ecosystems, bugs: all just a freaking i-cry-myself-to-sleep type of a joke.

(Be sure to check back in with me once I've won my $250mm off of Safeway's Monopoly game and I've thus got the resources to 'put up' by actually solving this giant problem in studly gordian knot style!)
