I will still place my bet for C++ combined with a third party UI Framework. I know that Qt has changed its license model, but it offers many capabilities and is battle-tested enough.
Otherwise another shot could be a Java/JavaFX application, possibility compiled natively or packaged with jpackage, so you deliver your own tailored JVM, without requiring the installation of a JRE on the user system.
Another way would be to embrace the Microsoft ecosystem with the Windows UI Frameworks and then use C# or C++
- grumblingdev 3y agoI don't get how MS can't just build a control library. You always have to use these expensive third-party closed-source libraries. I remember when the Ribbon UI came out. And there were like 10 different vendors making all different ones, each with a different look and feel. Just like Amazon took internal services and made them exposable in AWS, so should Microsoft with every UI component they build. You shouldn't be able to ship any UI internally, unless you make it publically accessible. I guess WinUI 3 is heading in these direction by decoupling from the OS. But boy it took a lot of time!
