“More efficient” is relative. While tauri and dioxus can lower the install size, they’re not going to be meaningfully more efficient than electron for memory usage or speed since Chrome probably does better than the other frameworks, and consistently across OSes which dioxus and tauri struggle with since they are dependent on the host OS’s web implementation. Slint is interesting here but then it’s more rust and less web coding.
Oh, "more efficient" here isn't a refence to Tauri. It's a reference to the parent comment's mention of "(AppKit, win32, GTK, Qt, etc)".
I work on a framework (Dioxus Native) which I think sits at an interesting intersection of "rust" and "web": it renders using HTML/CSS (custom implementation, not using a webview) but it uses Rust scripting instead of JavaScript.
What's "rust scripting"? I don't see any mention of it in the docs nor dioxus native roadmap and AFAIK https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/tree/main/packages/inte... is used as the interpreter although I can't for the life of me figure out where the JS engine is actually instantiated.
"interpreter.js" is for Dioxus's "web" backend which runs in browsers (who instantiate the JS engine). All it does is interpret "patch commands" to apply DOM mutations.
