Takuzu VS react-native-windows

If you're feeling adventurous. I'd try Pharo. I was at the ESUG conference (the European Smalltalk conference) and it seems that when you combine:

* Bloc (UI framework)

* The stuff in their new presentation (will be online in a few months)

* Pharo

You could get pretty far.

For example, this game [1] has been packaged as a Win/Mac app [2].

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 .

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/
