lo VS tauri

On the other hand, I advise you NOT to use this kind of library and write simple, fast go code most of the time, with the occasional generics helper. Why the hell would I clutter my code with, for example: https://github.com/samber/lo?tab=readme-ov-file#fromentries-...

This wasn't feasable without generics, and now with generics they're already adding some convenience functions to the stdlib, like in the slices package.

For map, reduce etc it's not in the stdlib yet, but you can use https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/lo

In particular, I'd like recommend samber/lo, this is a lodash generic tool for golang.

What are some 3rd-party libraries for Go that you use often/all the time? Instead of "just implement everything yourself", I would really like to get some tips. For instance, a few days ago I discovered https://github.com/samber/lo , which looks very good if I want to have list comprehensions (Python) / LINQ methods (C#). https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/atotto/clipboard is also good for clipboard operations. What else do you suggest and for what task?

A simple alternative is the combination of:

- https://github.com/samber/lo

- https://github.com/samber/mo

The split is also nice as you can choose to just use the generic convenience functions from lo without the more FP related things from mo.

Some packages offer utilities to gather results from goroutines, such as multierror.Group or parallel.Map in samber/lo.

I came across samber/log a package based on generics for providing utility methods.

Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Hey Thanks!

Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.

I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.

To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.

IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.

On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Welcome to the 2nd episode of our series “Building with Tauri”, where we chat with developers who build amazing projects and products using Tauri.

Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

First of all, I will be using npm as my package manager but feel free to use whatever you prefer. Find more info here.

Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.

I think Tauri is the most established framework using that approach
