Microsoft's UWP = Unwanted Windows Platform?

• Slint

  60 3,094 9.9 Rust, C++, JavaScript

  Discontinued 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]

  

>UWP is obsolete, because desktop applications are obsolete.

You have a point that for some applications, mainly the "some textboxes and buttons" variety used in things like data entry are better served by a webapp. As for other things every time I scroll up in a html5 chat application and the fans of my laptop go WHIRR I'm reminded that for anything non trivial you are still better off getting your hands dirty and start using a good GUI framework from the language of your choice.

For a while I thought that WASM will bridge this gap and bring a future of near native performance to webapps then results like the ironically named sixtyfps[0] toolkit having trouble pushing 20fps on my 2 year old flagship phone.

> The most depressive thing in managed langauges is that nobody figured out how to use low-level APIs or at least how to bring some abstractions for graphics (2d,3d) that would fit in 99% of the scenarios.
