People complains about this setup but WASM is optional. I've been using Golang with Lorca without WASM. I actually don't see the value of WASM here.. Anyway, I used Svelte on the frontend, pretty straightforward but any other lib would have been as easy to bind. And it just... works.
The main advantage over Electron is the size of the bin (~20MB for a medium app vs. >100MB if it was Electron). If you know the people who are going to use your app have Chrome installed, it's definitely better than Electron and you get the best of both worlds - quick crafted & beautiful UI and performant backend
- fileeditview 6y agoSure you have the smaller distribution size. However you also have drawbacks. As you mentioned Chrome must be installed. Then you can not guarantee the Chrome version like this.. maybe the version the user has breaks your app. Also you cannot use the "native" menu and other windowing features as you can with electron. I am not really convinced by the "Lorca concept".
