Show HN: Sciter 7GUIs “Benchmarks” – Unofficial Sciter GUI Demos
- GirkovArpa 6y agoFascinated as I am by an up-and-coming Electron rival, I set out to prove (mostly to myself) how easy (or challenging!) it would be to try the 7 tasks brought to my attention in the recent post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24958725 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24958725 The scripting language (TIScript) is very similar to JavaScript. My opinion is more-or-less the same as this commment's here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23509653 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23509653 "the different script language may be annoying the first day but you'll get used to it" A version using actual JavaScript is in development, and I actually tried doing the 7GUIs tasks with it here: https://github.com/GirkovArpa/sciter-js-7guis https://github.com/GirkovArpa/sciter-js-7guis But I hit some roadblocks based on not-yet-implemented JavaScript features. It looks promising but it's not quite there yet. TIScript was probably better than JavaScript all-around back before ES6; I believe its syntax of $(selector) is copied from jQuery. It has some neat syntax not yet implemented in JavaScript though, like: element.style.set { "background-color": "red" } And JSX: element.$append(<button>Click!</button>) There's a ton of other stuff I haven't yet explored. I know Sciter gets posted a lot here but I think it does truly deserve more recognition.
- thysultan 6y agoNo benchmark results?
- GirkovArpa 6y agoI put "Benchmarks" in quotes because its about how much code it takes to complete each GUI task with a given GUI library, not speed of the application itself.
