Interesting timing... I've just made something similar but with JS: C modules in JS. import * as CModule from "./module.c"; C module gets compiled to native code on load. I think that clear separation of executi

Slightly orthogonal... In my Sciter, that uses QuickJS (no JIT), instead of JIT I've added C compiler. That means we can add not just JS modules but C modules too: import * as cmod from "./cmodule.c" Such cmodule

NSUserDefaults is a key-value storage. Same as localStorage in browsers/js. On other side persistence in QuickJS is more than that. Essentially it is a NoSQL DB integrated into the language and its runtime. For example you can write

Correct CSS grid layout calculation is about solving system of equations and constraints. In simple cases, when there are no spanned cells (like in flexbox), it can be done relatively trivially. Otherwise solving that system is far from bei

Eh, if you drink, then drink... 1. Add `;` as a separator of elements, so you may have: { a: "foo"; b:"bar; } 2. Add array tags and space separated value lists so you may have { a: 12 13 14; } to be treated a

You can use my Sciter if you need native widgets. Sciter is an HTML/CSS/JS engine with the ability to attach native widgets to DOM elements. So you'll benefit from two worlds: HTML/CSS layout richness and native widgets.

Just in case: Sciter has Reactor - its own native and built-in implementation of React. Main difference is that component is instanceof Element - components are DOM elements. This allows to unify React and WebComponent under the same umbrel
