Even better: A rendered of graphic UIs.
The point about using electron is that you can use the browser to render the UI, and is filled with a lot of baggage. Imagine a UI rendered just for build UIs, not tied to JS or DOM or CSS, but able to work react-like.
- Illniyar 9y agoYou mean like react-native?
- IamCarbonMan 9y agoThat's still JS. React Native doesn't get rid of JS, it just exposes native platform APIs to JS.
- novembermike 9y agoJS isn't the problem though. V8 is pretty efficient and lightweight. The problem is that Electron pulls in all of the DOM stuff when there are lighter alternatives built into most operating systems.
- mamcx 9y ago> V8 is pretty efficient and lightweight How much lightweight? Similar to Lua?
- mamcx 9y agoYeah, but not with the full weight of node, js or (html)DOM. For the UI something like TCL or Lua or just some DSL is better.
