Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Can't decide on a programming language for multiple reasons
OCaml has actually put some decent effort into good GUI libraries, such as https://github.com/revery-ui/revery.

HypeScript: Simplified TypeScript's type system in TypeScript's own type system
I never tried CoffeeScript since nobody pays me for it, though I am curious about ReasonML as an alternative, there's a Neovim front-end[0] coded in Reason that compiles natively[1], and supports existing VS Code plugins from the VSCodium plugin repository[2] which I still have yet to look at how the heck they pulled that bit off, but it is pretty interesting.

- Iced – A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm

Are you still looking forward to Onivim2?
It uses Revery which is still just javascript
- Clog – The Common Lisp Omnificent GUI

Easiest lib to use for gui
Revery is promising and its way of handling GUIs matches the current trend of using a React-like virtual DOM style. Unfortunately, I found it to be a pain in the ass to actually attempt to install and use because of dependency on esy (which in turn depends on npm and caused nothing bug headaches) though so I haven't been able to actually try using it for anything.

Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
Revery is another similar project that is trying to be a lightweight alternative to Electron https://github.com/revery-ui/revery

I have created a home cloud project, for sharing files across your devices on the same network. Please do check it out and star it if you like the project. There are more features yet to come which I have planned. Thank you
I've never tried it but DeskGap lets you build a desktop app like Electron, but it uses your existing installed version of Chrome instead of bundling it's own Chrome engine inside the app so it keeps it much more lightweight. Might be interesting for you https://deskgap.com/

Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
> I kind of wonder why it took this long for someone to try this approach. It just makes a whole lot more sense on the surface.
Like other replies have mentioned, it's not a new idea
DeskGap uses the native OS Webviews. https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap/
Electrino (4 years old) was an experiment where they forked Electron and removed Chromium to replace it with the native OS Web views. https://github.com/pojala/electrino
Quark is a fork of Electrino: https://github.com/jscherer92/Quark
There's also a way of building desktop GUIs using Deno, which uses Deno Webview, which is a binding for the same webview library that Tauri uses.

What are some alternatives?
neutralinojs - Portable and lightweight cross-platform desktop application development framework
memoryjs - Read and write process memory in Node.js (Windows API functions exposed via Node bindings)
sciter-js-sdk - Sciter.JS - Sciter but with QuickJS on board instead of my TIScript
wry - Cross-platform WebView library in Rust for Tauri.
react-native-macos - A framework for building native macOS apps with React.
webview - Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).
Servo - Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine
Slint - Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++ or JavaScript. [Moved to: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint]
Godot - Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
sciter - Sciter: the Embeddable HTML/CSS/JS engine for modern UI development
graderjs - 💦 Turn your full-stack NodeJS application into a downloadable cross-platform binary. Also works for SPAs, or regular web-sites.
