Well, we're in the anvil business. Unless someone pulls the cart himself using C++ and MFC, similar amounts of oat will be consumed to get to our destination. Based on my empirical observations, WinUI 3 with C# eats memory like a horse

How many browser tabs you have open right now? I find JavaScript and its ecosystem atrocious in many ways, but several browser tabs and Electron/WebView apps running just fine on an early 2010s PC I employ. I don't see an XAML bas

Not OP, but thank you for the detailed feedback. I've been considering various options, including Swing, for a small desktop tool. May I ask how are the apps made with Electron, Tauri, Wails or other WebView-based GUI toolkits performi

JavaFX is alive. Check out what do people work on using JavaFX: https://www.jfx-central.com/links

Package size advantage of Wails, Tauri and likes; is it worth giving up Chromium's integrity across platforms, thus dealing with Safari/WKWebView and WebKitGTK anomalies?

Indeed, Johan Vos of Gluon is the leader of the Project Mobile. Swing remains a decent GUI toolkit, but it still requires native dependencies for stuff like OS file dialogs and other platform APIs, audio/video codecs, hardware-accelera

Tauri has a big community. Flutter has a big community. Do you believe Tauri can survive without a direct corporate backing, while Flutter can't? It's not a rhetoric question. I'm in need of a native application toolkit, and

Thank you. Your software has indeed a decent feature set. I will definitely try it out as soon as possible. I wish you the best of luck with the business!

How does Hydraulic Conveyor improve the distribution of cross-platform JavaFX applications, especially compared to the standard jlink/jpackage workflow?

Java is indeed a great technology. JavaFX, however, seems to have many unfixed bugs, even though it's actively maintained. How do you overcome the obstacles when developing and deploying your JavaFX application[s], so it's working

Flutter is cool, but does Dart have a decent library ecosystem for the needs beyond a rich client application?

How is the Wails project being managed? Does it have a backing company or enough sponsors to ensure its future?

How is the developer experience when building desktop apps using Tauri? Is there a lot of friction between the Rust core and the TypeScript frontend?

So your magic ball tells you why did people hit the "flag" button on my post. Thank you for sharing that. For a moment I thought every hint of criticism towards Rust is suppressed or censored by the Rust zealots.

I value good tooling as much as the next software engineer. We have good IDEs, build systems, package managers in Java and .NET lands; but we also have a decent environment of established, well-maintained libraries and frameworks. Rust is d

I mean, if we are allowed to lie in order to promote Rust, why don't we just smear all the C/C++ code bases in the world as security hazard needed to be sorted out ASAP? Unless we already do...

Your post is "flagged" to oblivion, just like my earlier post questioning the "inclusive" culture of the Rust community. What is it called when a person or group's actions don't match their words?

Can you please elaborate the "least headaches" part? I know it's Rust's main selling point compared to C++, but is it also favorable for a user of statically-typed GC languages like Go, Java, C#?

Browser engines have good accessibility, good text rendering, and useful Web APIs to play with. These features are not easy to achieve without using the native toolkit for each platform, or bundling a monolithic cross-platform framework.

May I ask how do you solve the problem that almost none of the 3rd party libraries in Java ecosystem use modules? Last time I checked, jlink tool refused to make use of those "automatic module" dependencies when creating an image.

How adequate is Swing (combined with JGoodies Binding or RxJava) compared to JavaFX in this regard?

You're trying to connect the dots between two separate phenomenons. This oversimplification will only mislead you. You'd think that your left-wing instincts will guide you through this, but you will accidentally end up taking ugly

You can't just dump links to 10,000-word political essays, and expect them to support your original premise that the PKK terrorism is justified. You must have a knowledge about the history and currency of the topic to hold such strong
