I'd say Dart[0] fits the description. [0]https://dart.dev/ https://dart.dev/

  That's just for web apps.

    Flutter can be used for both mobile and desktop apps, although mobile is definitely the primary focus. In my view, Flutter basically equals Dart. I don't know what else people use Dart for.

      I use Dart for custom cli tools and recently deployed small service that feeds data to my backend service. It's simple and nice to write, no learning curve to speak of.

  Yes it does[1] and it works on Desktop, mobile and web. JavaFX has SceneBuilder[2] which also fit the description but for some reason, it never caught on. Gluon seems to have that work not only on desktop, but also on mobile.

    Can you confirm that Dart desktop apps are actually desktop apps and not Electron apps or similar?
    • brabel 4y ago
      Of course... it's a very different tech. Flutter's graphics are based on Skia[1], same as used in Android and Chrome. Dart compiles to actual executable binaries, so it's not at all like Electron. [1] https://skia.org/ https://skia.org/
