Cinder VS react-native-windows

Have you come across openFrameworks (https://openframeworks.cc/) or Cinder (https://libcinder.org/)?

CProcessing reminds me of Cinder

I only used SFML, currently making a 2D isometric game. I really like it so far overall, easy to use IMO, pretty well documented. Does what I need it to do. Heard good things about SDL2 and also Cinder++ (https://libcinder.org/) also.

What kind of game? You might be better off using a game engine unless it's more of a simple starter project. Check out https://libcinder.org/ or see lots of engines here: https://github.com/collections/game-engines

Cinder

Try Cinder (https://libcinder.org/). I have not tried it myself but it seems to have the same goals as P5 and Processing (ie. creative coding).

Kind of a shorty thing for Meta to do when Cinder is already taken by https://libcinder.org

or its C++ cousins openFrameworks and Cinder

Microsoft is using React Native for Windows [0] for their Office applications [1]. As a fan of RN this would be the first avenue I’d explore if I had to develop something for Windows.

There's also MAUI (.NET) and React Native desktop.

Sometimes yeah they can become a real pain in the a$$. With RN you can make good looking and dynamic layouts with minimum effort. On the other hand when trying to implement logic my main and continuous issues I am facing is with the async parts . Apart from I am all in for RN . I am going to give it a try for a windows app with https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows .And if it works fine (which means you get your self away from C#) it will be a really powerful tool for me .

You can read more about it here: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/

at Microsoft, it's used a lot for brownfield scenarios, similar to react-native-windows: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows

you sound more like a zealot than someone trying to make a point. you can deploy to desktop with react native and have been able to for years now, courtesy of Microsoft: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/
