Edit: Ok, I was wrong. I thought Tauri was also being used as a platform for Rust development, not just Javascipt. Also, it's not buried..just not highlighted.

Edit: Ok, I was wrong. I thought Tauri was also being used as a platform for Rust development, not just Javascipt. Also, it's not buried..just not highlighted. First comment of the day did not get off to a good start.
What surprised me was that Tauri was buried and not mentioned as a viable Electron replacement. I think we will eventually get to the point where native OS UI is a Web UI, with the OS UI running on a special virtual interface for security. I have seen Web-based UIs that are every bit as nuanced, complex, and well-designed as native UIs. Two bits are not quite there yet though. First, performance of Web UI has improved amazingly, but until we do have native support integrated into the OS it's going to be a step behind. Second, as already mentioned, accessibility must be accounted for.
- the_duke 5y agoTauri is written in Rust, but it's a Electron alternative, with user code written in Javascript. It deserves a curtious mention, but it's not really relevant to a Rust UI development. (Sure, you can write UIs via WASM now, but that's equally true for Electron)

- anthk 5y ago>performance of Web UI has improved amazingly You didn't live with the computers' UI from the 90's and 00's, right? It looks so.
- kaba0 5y agoIt is ridiculously fast for what it does. There’s another question that it does plenty of unnecessary computations for the end-goal and is probably not a good basis for.. well anything to be honest. It is not good at layouting, nor interactions.
