Take a look at the issues opened for porting Visual Studio Code to not-Linux/not-MacOS/not-Windows. It's non-trivial in large part because Electron is a mess and not officially supported beyond Linux/Mac/Windows.
- solarkraft 8y agoAre other toolkits easier to port to unsupported platforms?
- inferiorhuman 8y agoI'd assume so based on both Gtk, Qt, WxWidgets, and Curses supporting more platforms (e.g. BSDs). Certainly qmake is leagues ahead of the messes that Electron and VS Code use. Edit: None of this is helped with the absolutely shittacular support that Node has for non-Linux unicies. Multi-platform support is one of those things that Rust really gets right.
