    Review ★★★★★ 9/10

    Slint is a great UI framework, easy to get started with and quick to iterate on UI with the excellent live preview and LSP integrated into VS Code. The main downside in my opinion is the somewhat long compile times once you have a lot of UI code, which I hope they will be able to improve upon.

  • LSP: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Sep 2024
    I've implemented a LSP server (for Slint - https://slint.dev) and I agree with this article.

    The paradox is that it was meant to avoid to write language support for each editor. Yet, if you want to support vscode you must create a specific extension for it and can't just have a language client.

    The article mention the configuration problem, but I'd add the problem that Microsoft refuses to specify a way for the server to tell the client what are the config options so that the client can show some kind UI showing the possible configuration options with a description of what they do. https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues...

    I've been enjoying Slint[0] lately. It is inspired by QML but is entirely implemented in Rust. From what I understand, it also transpiles the .slint files into Rust.

  • Deno in 2023
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Feb 2024
    Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.

    But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.

    Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

    With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

    Sorry!
