I working on a project using tauri with htmx. I know a bit uncommon. But the backend part use axum and htmx. No Js/Ts UI. It's fast, reliable and it work well. Plus its easy to share/reuse the lib with the server/web.

Even if its cumbersome, it's still a win-win for them to use it. The outlook app will be native desktop and mobile (except linux for now). Plus it will give the maui project more credibility, help grow its userbase. Make the framework

You must break down the part that led to that reputation. Electron uses its own renderer (chrome). Meaning it can't share memory with the os browser and make download size way bigger. It bundles nodejs. Again make download size bigger

Also electron require multiple node backend services which each eat memory like crazy (based on electron app I use). Have one, real Multithreaded +, more efficient backend, will reduce memory and offer better performance. Wails is also an a

Yes, you're 100% right and I hear you. I really do like Nim, but suggesting it to do WebAssembly out of the box could be deceiving and do no good. The project is currently in the hard spot where it's hard to convince your team of

Not sure if you are sarcastic or not. But if you look at how you develop windows app (vb, winforms, wpf, uwp and now maui) or Mac/iOS (from mvc, mvvm, and now mvu) and not forgetting Delphi. I find it far from stagnant. With React you

Like you said reactive programming and OO are not exclusive. And if you look how you do React now with useState, useEffect and all. It's exactly a reproduction of OO, but inside a function that don't behave like a function anymore

The equivalent is fable [1]. The major difference I would say, is that you are required to use botnet alongside of node. (dotnet to compile to JS, then node to bundle with wepback or anything else) Also, you can use the same language to bui

On macOs, it's the same shortcuts as Emacs. Except the `ctrl+x+[other]` uses the command key. IMO its significantly superior for programming. It's also the reason there is less key on the keyboard, it's simply more efficient.

You can use f# with fable on the javascript ecosystem. And it's quite nice. Better than TS imo. and now with .net core, its a better cross platform framework. also, you can target wasm or native image now, no need to install it on the
