Electron has gotten a lot of criticism for being bloated. Are there any good alternatives for making desktop apps that are scripting language based? I’d especially like to use Lua(JIT), but I’m not aware of anything anywhere near as reliable, cross-platform, easily deployed, and easy to build interfaces in as Electron. I’m not the biggest fan of the JS and/or the JS ecosystem, but I would love the speed, lightness, and convenience of another language (just look at how fast and lean Lua with LuaJIT is!) with the power that some JS tools like Electron have to offer.
- infinite8s 10y agoYou can use Lua with Qt (Torch has some bindings), but it's nowhere near as well tested.
- jventura 10y agoFor Python you have PyQt (https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro)
