I have a idea for a kind of terminal (but not a terminal emulator) more in the style of ipython. But the trouble is that multi platform is complicated.
Is possible to have a fast html rendered just for the UI and use native code for the rest?
- fifafu 10y agoSure, with Electron/Node you can easily do that: https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html A good example for a performant Electron/Node application is Microsoft VSCode
- mamcx 10y agoMmm... maybe I was not clear. I like how html/css work for build the UI, but wish not to use node at all. Also, exist a engine more light and fast than webkit?
- zem 10y agoif you're using native code anyway, why not just use gtk or qt? they both solve the "multiplatform is complicated" issue, as long as you're willing to compile separately on each platform and host native executables for end users to download.
