Sometimes I Hate Runtime Frameworks

Have you ever experienced a conversation in your programming life such this IM talk:
George: Hey Adam, i ‘ve just programmed a little funny puzzling game, do you want to play some? It’s only 50Kb.
Adam: Well great! send me a copy, of course i want to play.
George: OK! Wait a minute i’m zipping it, … , well have you got it?
Adam: Yep! But it gives an error.
George: Hımmm, i think you have to install bla bla framework v3.8. You can download it here http://www.blablaframeork.com. It only takes 20 minutes.
Adam: Ohh. Forget about it George, i’m too busy now, maybe later, right?
George: OK Adam, byee.
Adam: Byee![]()
This is a small but one big point that gets me think twice for programming under a framework platform. I’m programming for about 5-6 years without native programming languages knowledge and i always feel lameness of this. Write once, run nowhere, distrubute nowhere, deploy nowhere, only play it yourself with your coding enviroment. Think about that no one can produce a Windows Notepad replacement with programming .Net Framework or Java enviroment. Because notepad is only 68 Kb, requires nothing, and meaningfully responsive.

Developing lightweight, tool like, portable mini softwares died for us framework parasites. Although t’s the funniest part of programming, we all have lack of this.
I’m looking for a day that really gets me to the boiling point, and begin to learn assembly language
